That's a long-ish article that I don't have time to read this instant, but it doesn't seem to address the specific points I brought up, so I don't know how relevant it is. I'm still interested to know why you think their argument is stronger.
EDIT: Okay, now that I've had time to understand TechDirt's position a little better, I don't believe the author is being "dishonest" anymore. He's only saying that Facebook wants to repeal the CDA because, in his mind, repealing it and reforming it are equivalent. You have to admit it's somewhat confusing for them to repeatedly say that Facebook wants to "destroy" Section 230 when what they actually want to do is add to it. Regardless of whether or not you agree with TechDirt's view, it gives the impression that they don't know what they're talking about or are misrepresenting the issue.
