What a moron. Repealing 230 would solve the problem. This moron doesn't understand 230 at all.

What 230 did was to allow editorializing while eliminating liability for content. Without 230, platforms would simply have to choose one or the other. A site like Saidit does not editorialize, so it would be free from liability. All free speech platforms would be free from liability. Big social media would be forced to choose, and if they continue to editorialize (censor) then they would be liable for content which I don't think AI can solve, so they would be forced to only allow approved content creators which would make them much smaller.
