So anyone who starts a website allowing public posting needs to hire moderators fluent in the hundreds of languages that will be used there? There's at least 18 languages that are widely officially used across the world, plus more that are national languages of only one country, and over 7,000 total languages in existence.
This is why we have Section 230. Otherwise, we would only be able to use "approved" languages online to avoid liability, which would obviously be terrible.

However it would be interesting to figure out what they do with e.g. Portuguese written in sound-alike English words (is that possible?)
