> So where would I set the bar? I would set it at the level that a company isn't at fault if their platform has the right kind or amount of moderation that the bad event that happened was unusual or couldn't have been expected. If someone gets hurt because Facebook didn't police an openly Nazi group, they should be liable. If someone gets hurt because Facebook has decent moderation procedures in place but the Nazi group was sneaky and posed as a sports fan club and used coded messages, then I think Facebook would have a pretty easy defense even without Section 230.
I like this idea in theory. How does this work if the platform promises no moderation? Is that allowed? I'm thinking of a mastodon-type setup where a setup can choose not to do any type of filtering/moderation.
