Defamation posted to Parler by users was not illegal for Parler to host. Section 230 covers them there. I'd expect a "free speech" site to allow it.

Section 230 does not protect the network from illegal speech.

Edit: assuming there’s a federal law about it. Not sure how civil litigation is handled. Not a lawyer, etc.
