> were effectively given get out of jail free cards with regards to legal liability protections given to the by the government You mean Section 230 and other analogous laws, right? I'm not sure how you have comment and interaction heavy sites (like HN) without some sort of protections here. Like, YC would probably shut HN down rather than pay for enough people to moderate it 24-7. Certainly, Facebook and Youtube would require absolute armies of moderators to comply with the law if they were treated as the publisher of user-generated content. Maybe that's a tradeoff you'd be willing to make, but I'm pretty sure such a policy would be wildly unpopular and likely to get reversed pretty soon.
