They’re responsible for their actions today.
230 doesn’t immunize commenters from liability for the words they post online. It protects the platform, while also allowing them to moderate.
Post-230, platforms would have to zealously moderate to avoid repercussions. You think bots are a little too aggressive today. Imagine those auto-van dials turned up to 11 if Twitter bore direct responsibility for every word tweeted out.
- thoughtstheseus 6y agoI don’t want them to moderate. Many will/are unhappy with them moderating content. Allow people to moderate their own content. There is a huge market for shifting content curation and moderation to users and away from platforms.
