Yeah the people who think that repealing 230 would make all social media stop moderating are simply fooling themselves. The result would be absolutely extreme moderation that accepted huge numbers of false positives just to ensure that nothing bad got through, or even just the complete end of user generated content.

Good thing I never suggested that, and much as with the drafting of Section 230, we are perfectly capable of drafting a new law to qualify the protections thereunder. In fact, that was done most recently with FOSTA/SESTA to combat sex trafficking. If they're going to be treated as a special category somewhere between common carriers and publishers, that category requires qualification.
