No, it allows you to attempt to moderate all illegal content, and not be punished if you miss some. It doesn't have anything to do with curation vs dumb firehose. It was made to allow websites to have user generated content without fear of the obvious result of user generated content. Without section 230, or the protections it provides, website operators are liable for the crap that users put on their website. Zuckerberg would not open himself up to liability, he would lock down posting anything on facebook that wasn't extremely, obviously mundane, and probably try to pivot.

It doesn't say illegal, it says good Samaritan blocking of objectionable material.

If it doesn't have anything to do with curation (publisher) vs firehose then what does this mean:

> No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker

What is a publisher and why do they need to say this? What distinction is there? Were they treated as a publisher before Section 230?
