This. These companies are selecting and amplifying certain speech. The fact that the process is somewhat automated doesn't change this. If any legal argument relies on "the algorithm" being likened to simple searching and sorting, maybe we should require some transparency there so anyone can know if that's actually the case. On another note, Section 230 isn't a free pass to host illegal content. It doesn't make a website immune to DMCA takedown requests, for example. We could have terrorism takedown requests, and the burden wouldn't harm large, irresponsible companies or small, moderated forums.
