Yes? That sounds great? That's how it currently works today?

That's the one you take away if you require a choice between having any moderation at all and having a safe harbor, because without the safe harbor the 5% they get wrong subjects them to liability.
You can have a platform which is completely unmoderated, but then it's overrun with spam.
You can demand a level of accuracy which is impossible at the scale of a many-to-many communications platform (which de facto prohibits them).
Or you let people try to moderate them, have them filter out 95% of the garbage, and don't punish them for the 5% they inevitably miss.
