>What would really change if Section 230 was repealed? Facebook and Twitter are already moderating + flagging content on their own. Now they just would be held... legally liable for bad/opinionated fact checking? I doubt that would up in court? What would change if section 230 were repealed? Well, among many other things, if you have a git repo and you delete any PRs (say, someone posts spam or links to porn or other material irrelevant to the repo and its underlying purpose), you can then be sued if someone (not you) posts a bug report or an opinion about anything that a third-party doesn't like. Or if you host a mirror of lkml[0] and Linus posts a snarky response to a patch merge request, without section 230, you can be sued. Or if you host a web site and someone posts a comment to which a third-party objects, without section 230, you can be sued. I'm not sure how you feel about that, but that's not the kind of world in which I want to live. [0] https://lkml.org/ https://lkml.org/
