Section 230 has been used to defend a library when a child used it's computers to access pornography. It's not all chatrooms and social media. Restricting the internet to be run by people able to manage their own websites would hurt. Ebay would have to manually review every account and listing. Good luck finding a user review website like Rotten Tomatoes. No more Straw Polls. No more GitHub. |

It goes deeper than that, I think. Do VM hosting companies also rely on Section 230 immunity? Do ISPs? (They’re not Title II common carriers anymore!) Would providers of this nature be required to monitor what their users do as well?
I don’t believe either of these have been tested in court, but I think there’s at least the potential here to make it much, much harder to manage a website.
