I'll have to read it more. Does existing section 230 indirectly protect the platform from publishing threatening, defamatory, dangerous content if done so by a community moderator? Seems like a shitty loophole for a company to exploit TBH if looking at it from the negative lens.
Generally sites and platforms should be left alone as they are privately created virtual spaces, but the ISP networking needs to be unmolested. A site should still be liable for what is being provided on their domain and not shielded by unpaid moderator nonsense if that's what is going on.
it protects websites from legal liability due to what third parties post. changing it would negatively impact freedom of speech online, especially for large social media sites or forums.
the changes being made look to possibly be impacting people who moderate or help refer content on the sites as well, so it doesnt even seem to be social media vs this law but rather anyone liking/downvoting/upvoting it as well, and the volunteer moderators for things like reddit and i would imagine facebook pages.
