Even if Section 230 is written out, the First Amendment still defends app makers from prior restraint. As demonstrated in Snyder v Phelps, It's not illegal to embarrass private individuals or provide a service/platform that permits such an outcome.
- pridzone 1y agoIt is potentially illegal to embarrass private individuals. It’s covered by state defamation and privacy torts. Privacy torts, such as ‘public disclosure of private facts’ can apply even if the information is true. Without section 230 immunity, the app developer can face liability for user generated content. Section 230 protections don’t apply if the app acted as a ‘developer in part’ of the content.
