What about 0% margins? Is there actually enough money in social media to pay for moderation even with no profit?

At the scale social media companies operate at, absolutely perfect moderation with zero false negatives is unavailable at any price. Even if they had a highly trained human expert manually review every single post (which is obviously way too expensive to be viable) some bad stuff would still get through due to mistakes or laziness. Without at least some form of Section 230, the internet as we know it cannot exist.
