I'll also add that the excessive censorship and manipulation of opinion on massive sites such as reddit, facebook, youtube, etc. is somewhat disturbing. People tend to think that only governments can censor excessively, but the fact is

So, you're arguing with me about something I never even said, while ignoring my point about excessive censorship and manipulation of public opinion? 'Revoke 230' or 'keep 230' are not the only possibilities in this

Okay, to make it clear - I don't think sites should lose 230 protections for having a moderation policy. I do think that the excessive manipulation and censorship of dissenting opinions on sites such as reddit is a bad thing however.

What's not the point of section 230? I literally didn't say anything about section 230 or suggest that sites that moderate should have those protections revoked.

Wait, you really don't see the contradiction between your first and second sentences? '21 years ago we got yet another new thing. What makes you think we'll ever get a new thing again?' Seriously?

Yeah, I agree with what you said. My point is that it's pointless and misleading to bring up retention numbers if most what you're retaining you already knew previously. It's not a measure of how much you're actually lea

I doubt there will be any serious backlash or even a non-trivial amount of reporting about such cases. Also, not sure what kind of backlash there really was over war profiteering - plenty of American companies collaborated with Nazi Germany
