Some (including myself) would argue that a repeal of section 230 would go a long way towards solving some of these issues.

A large part of the problem is that social media companies algorithmically serve content to serve their purposes, but are not liable for the consequences of algorithmically served content.

To me, using an algorithm to select what content to show a user is exactly the same thing newspapers do: editorializing. I don't understand why its treated any differently.



Those people who say that about section 230 are better known as either dishonest or complete fucking morons.

The entire mutually exclusive division between platform and publisher is a zombie propaganda lie that won't stay dead.
