I personally don’t agree with the ban, I think they are reaching a little, but it is their company, it’s their rules. The first amendment doesn’t apply hereQuote:

Let the fair market sort this out and get Government out of it.
If it wasn’t for section 230, Kranar, for example could be in deep legal shit for this forum board.Quote:

You’re wrong. Platforms have always had protections from liability, that’s why you can’t sue a bookstore if they sell a book that has libelous information in it because it would be impossible for a bookstore to read each book and research everything in it to make sure everything is okay, the bookstore is merely providing a place for people to sell their books. The book publisher, being a publisher, is in fact liable because they do read the book and research everything in it before publishing said book.Quote:

Section 230 allows service providers to remain a platform and thus safe from lawsuits even if they moderate the content on their sites, as long as the moderation is done in good faith, e.g. removing content that is overly violent.
Without 230 all Kranar would have to do is not moderate, which is something this forum doesn’t do much of anyways.
I take it, you aren't aware what section 230 is or what it actually does.Quote:
