I am literally old enough to remember the arguments for Section 230 when it was voted into law. And they basically boiled down to "this internet thing is too new, let's protect these tiny new companies now that they are starting up by removing liability".
Totally made sense at the time. A quarter of a century later, these are now the largest companies in the history of humanity. We should at least be able to discuss what kind of liability we should be able to put on them.
