- pixelgeek 5y agoI made this comment a while ago in relation to Facebook and had some folks reference the specific US law that makes that not the case.
- colejohnson66 5y agoSection 230 is specifically designed to allow them to do that without being liable. Without section 230, a site "curating" by deleting some comments, banning some accounts, etc. would then be liable for any illegal content on the site. The EFF has a very good article on why removing/repealing it would be a horrible idea: https://www.eff.org/issues/cda230 https://www.eff.org/issues/cda230
