Great, then they should not be subject to section 230 protection, which protects them from liability from user-generated content. If they are a private publishing site, they should be entitled to all the privileges and responsibilities of such sites, as well established in the common law.
- zdragnar 6y agoThat makes zero sense; 230 wasn't written to be exclusive to utilities or common infrastructure. It has always applied to private publishing of third party content, so long as the content isn't editorialized by thr publisher.
