I think the time has come for the major big tech PLATFORMS to declare their formal political allegiances and end the travesty they are 'just providing a Section230 service'.
The EU's MEPs are organized by political views rather than party in a Burning Man style semi circle to debate the political views of the Commissioners and provide some input. In many ways the tech world could be organized in a similar way to better provide free speech and formally 'biased' platforms.
- tzs 6y agoSection 230 has nothing whatsoever to do with political alliances. You can explicitly moderate your site in favor of any particular position (political or otherwise) and you still get full section 230 immunity for user provided content. That was the whole point of section 230. Before section 230 there had been court ruling that said if you moderated you were then responsible for everything. Section 230 was written to reverse that.
