Furthermore, it's not just about social media which didn't even exist in its current form in 1996 (the Web barely did). Rather Section 230 was more focused at the time on things like ISPs and hosting providers. So it's not just about Twitter and Facebook. It's also about things like individual web pages.
Ironically, given all his complaining, if Section 230 didn't exist, Twitter would have no choice but to ban Trump. He'd be an absolute nightmare in terms of liability.
