Section 230 Explained
The problem is not that Section 230 clearly requires platforms to be neutral. The problem is that it doesn’t.<p>Section 230 isn't in the Bill of Rights. It's a legislative gift that was given to internet companies to help them grow by granting them a special legal shield for all the highly problematic content that they host and monetize.<p>If they want to editorialize on the back of that content, then I don't see why they should have such special status.<p>We do not need to eliminate Section 230. But the definition of 'Good Samaritan' blocking and 'good faith efforts' should explicitly not include the editorial decisions of a publisher.
