Section 230 is essentially about the ability to quote someone else without fact checking or taking responsibility for what was said. It has nothing to do with neutrality and never had anything to do with neutrality until recent efforts to manufacture outrage started conflating Section 230 and the entirely unrelated concept of free speech.
- syshum 6y agoWholly incorrect, Sec 230 was in direct response to 2 lawsuits and mainly in respond to Stratton Oakmont, Inc. v. Prodigy Services Co It was not about "quoting someonelse" As far as recent efforts to "manufacture outrage" one would have to be completely bias or willfully ignorant to not see the clear political bias that is shown by silicon valley in the modern area of politics Many of these companies have executives in power that have publicly stated their desire to manipulate the election in favor of their political ideology Aside from that normal everyday moderation has a clear political bias to it. So I do not believe the outrage is "manufactured" at all
