And their platforms would all devolve into 4/8chan. No thanks.

  Well, yeah, I didn't say it was a good option, just that total preemptive moderation (also not a good option) isn't the only choice.

    It's almost like Sec. 230 is actually a good statute that may need to be tweaked, but not fundamentally changed or repealed.

      > It's almost like Sec. 230 is actually a good statute that may need to be tweaked, but not fundamentally changed or repealed. Well, yeah, while I don't point that out in every comment on 230-related issues, that's 100% my position. Pre-230, mass communications platforms were between Scylla and Charybdis in a way which had previously been masked by the economics of print publishing and distribution making total editing the only sensible approach independent of liability concerns. The emergence of online platforms really brought that to light, and 230 was, if perhaps problematic in some details of application, exactly the right kind of solution.
