> ...Repealing Section 230[1]: so that social media (and others) are treated as publishers and legally liable for user-generated content (including Bot content)... After 2016 or so, i started seeing the topic of "repealing section 230" come up far more often than in the past. And since then, I have wondered if it does get repleaed, might the big social media giants push towards trying to monetize a more decentraliuzed type of social network? In other words, at that point would they leverage networks like the Fediverse and technologies like Mastodon to somehow capture users, but somehow still monetize them in a way that they continue to lack liability...but the users either have legitimate freedom (though still contribute freely to fill social giants purses with revenue), or said users have a false sense of freedom, and really are still beholden to the social media giants...?
