That’s a great criticism; I look to history to try and understand the consequences of principles in practice. But of course changing the details can change everything. The question then is, does the increased power and concentration move the internet companies to the category of something like a utility that needs public oversight, w.r.t. moderating content under section 230? To me that seems strange, other people’s attention does not seem like a utility. There may be other things large tech companies do with their power that mean they need to be regulated like utilities, but moderating user generated content so that users don’t leave or so that ads can be better sold over it doesn’t seem like it fits the bill. It’s not clear to me what is broken on section 230 specifically; I can’t separate a legitimate social ill from the politically motivated attacks.
