Repealing Section 230 won’t do what anyone wants

How would repealing 230 address your perceived double standard? Platforms have the right to make editorial decisions about what appears on their platform. Without 230, they’d probably double down on it. Repealing 230 would not somehow provide an Avenue to force them to provide “fair and balanced” coverage.

Maybe you just want 230 repealed so the networks can be burned to the ground through a mass of frivolous lawsuits. If so ... no?

I don’t mind bias or stricter rules. Left or right, progressive or conservative, all fair games. I do mind hypocrisy, as hypocrisy is the result of setting narratives regardless of facts or principles. And yes, I don’t mind if twitter goes down.

How does 230 address hypocrisy? Or are you just airing a personal grudge?
