I am not a fan of repealing section 230. I think it'sactuallya pretty inspired piece of law for its time.
But it's original purpose was to remove civil liability for platforms for making an imperfect but good faith attempt to remove illegal content.
The farther we move away from the original motivating case, the less clear it is to me that Internet companies need or deserve the protection afforded to them under the auspices of section 230.
