Are you not aware of the history behind CDA section 230? There was at least one actual court case in which the online service Prodigy was successfully sued for libel, on the grounds that by employing moderators to remove "offensive" content, Prodigy automatically became responsible for everything its users posted that was not removed.

Where's your argument that returning the law to its previous state wouldn't result in exactly the same thing happening again?
- austincheney 6y agoBecause lawsuits, and lawyers, are expensive and slow. It’s the same reason lawsuits of equal caliber and concern aren’t generally more common everywhere else. Releasing section 230 would raise the probability of a law suit from 0 to equal every other venue.
