- s_y_n_t_a_x 6y agoThey aren't wanting to kill 230, they want to take it away from companies who choose to alter users' posts. Their argument is if you start censoring and editing your users you are abusing the protections given to you by 230 and you are no longer eligible and you must vet EVERY post, not just the ones you selected. Other companies who do not edit/censor their users selectively continue to have protections from 230. Not picking a side btw, just trying to clarify.
