1) Holy strawman batman
2) If they were unmoderated or lightly moderated cesspits of degeneracy then maybe their ability to pick sides on a whim wouldn't matter. Nobody cares if 4Chan bans something or cancels someone because nobody takes platforms like that seriously in the first place.

I think the GP was referring to the status before Section 230, which was exactly why Section 230 was passed in the first place. The internet is a very different place now, but repealing Section 230 is likely to have a host of unintended, mostly bad consequences (while doing very little to rein in FB/GOOG et al).
