would the bar be responsible if they didn't intervene? What state do you live in? It's even worse for tech companies, because of the way people use these services. As a completely hypothetical example that I'm in no way condoning, let's say someone in a forum posted a comment like, "I hate n-words. We should off them all." The comments in the forum degenerate from there, and include posts of the form, "YY black church starts service at 10:30 on Sunday." and, " Oh yeah, you mean the N-word church at XXXX South Whatever Blvd in Charleston SC?" I think you see where I'm going with this. Taken separately, each of those comments is either non-specific, or not threats at all. But taken together, it's a different story. Now, imagine this hypothetical tech firm ran ads on their forums. It wouldn't even matter whether or not they ran ads on the forum in question, because the very fact that they decide where to run ads would make them a publisher and ineligible for section 230 protections.
