Right. Compuserve and Prodigy. Compuserve didn't moderate and Prodigy did.

The concern is that absent Section 230, a provider needs to either be (almost) totally hands-off or they have to strictly moderate (which isn't really viable for the modern web and social media).

That's definitely a concern I share, I manage a couple of work related servers that are miniscule in scale compared to social media companies, and the quantity of attempted spam/FUD/astroturfing they receive would render them pointless cesspools if we couldn't just block it
