People are not looking at all of section 230. While it does protect the internet company from liability for what is posted, it also protects them from liability from moderating what is posted.The whole debate about 230 is that Congress gave the Tech companies the protection from liability, because they claimed that they weren't Publishers, but just conduits for social discourse. The problem is that they have assumed the role of Editors, which is a Publishing function, which is why Congress is allegedly considering rescinding 230.
Their political bias is causing them to dramatically Edit Conservative speech, while leaving most Liberal speech untouched. I believe the whole point of a site like Twitter is to be a means to exchange ideas. If there is no diversity in the ideas presented, it becomes an echo chamber, which serves little purpose.
I don't believe anyone has a problem with shutting down people making threats or colluding to break laws. Using personal pronouns is NOT breaking any laws.
(c)Protection for “Good Samaritan” blocking and screening of offensive material
(1)Treatment of publisher or speaker
No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.
(2)Civil liability-No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account of—
(A)
any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected; or
(B)
any action taken to enable or make available to information content providers or others the technical means to restrict access to material described in paragraph (1).[1]
So, Trump wants 230 rescinded because he thinks it will prevent tech companies from blocking his content or fact-checking him. But, such an action would also subject tech companies to liability for ANYTHING people post on their platform. An argument can be made for modifying 230, but if they become liable for everything that is posted by a third party, they'd basically have to shut down altogether because they'd be getting sued all the time.
