Section 230 isn't perfect but it remains the best approach that we've seen for dealing with a very messy internet in which there are no good solutions.

Check out the absolutely stunning amount of astroturfing being done by Jason Fyk's "Social Media Freedom Foundation". These always ramp up when he loses in court. Guess what happened on the 12th? @mmasnick @ericgoldman

Trump didn't watch the TPUSA Halftime show. He watched Bad Bunny.

Could you explain why you believe your First Amendment right to Freedom of Religion and Freedom of Expression without Government Interference, should override anyone else's First Amendment right to not Associate with you and your Speech on their private property?

Section 230 was/is about the GOVERNMENT taking away your right to free speech. How can you have so much trouble understanding such a simple concept?

(2) the vehicle is operated in a manner that threatens to cause death or serious physical injury to the officer or others, and no other objectively reasonable means of defense appear to exist, which includes moving out of the path of the vehicle.”

Facebook Publishes a social media platform.
Twitter Publishes a micro-blogging platform.
YouTube Publishes a video hosting platform.
4chan Publishes a imageboard platform.
The term 'Platform' has no legal definition or significance.
What point were you trying to make?

No, either you are a bot with a bad algorithm or a human who needs to learn to read.
Your quote repeats exactly what my point was - that Elon needs to decide if X is to be a platform or a publisher. If the former then he cannot restrict speech merely because he doesn't like it.

The myth of “government censorship” on social media is everywhere... but what’s really behind it? A recent Tech Dirt podcast with @mmasnick and @noupside (author, Invisible Rulers) dives deep into how this narrative took hold.

Meanwhile, committees subpoena tech companies and researchers based on misleading data (“22 million censored tweets!”). Reality check: Stanford flagged ~2,700 tweets for review—not at government direction and most were ignored by platforms anyway.

60% were ignored. That leaves about 1100 that were removed. Not "22 million".
