Under (e.g.) defamation law without section 230, actions you take on the platform which affect the distribution of defamatory statements could make you liable for defamation, including when the “interaction” is hosting a space on the platform where it is posted, like a Facebook page or wall, or even the parent post on which it is posted as a comment.
