They CAN enforce standards, but if their site is used to defraud or incite violence, they aren’t legally liable.
If 230 dies, platforms must censor like crazy or risk legal exposure.
It would take their imaginary censorship, make it very real, and kick it up to 11.
Does anyone think a company is going to take the rap for the stupid shit people say? Bans will be rampant to cover their asses.
Social media companies earn money while sowing chaos. There has to be some bar for accountability.
And once again this just comes across as liberals defending broken things. You let R's fix it for you and see the result
