Section 230 makes it clear that these companies aren't considered speakers of their user posted content, hence preventing them from moderating it doesn't impose on their free speech since the user posted content isn't considered their speech.
- jmull 5y agoSection 230 can’t modify/restrict/repeal/affect the scope and meaning of the first amendment in any way.

I'm unsure what the caselaw on site moderation looks like, so i have no idea if the assertion is correct
