Of course it is.

So is a 'for-profit business' is a perfectly fine thing. But having a for-profit business using tax code for a non-profit charity -- would be criminal.

So why does 230 or other shields apply to Twitter or HN or FB?

My point I think more that a social networking company can apply crowdsourced or individual editorialization to political speech. And that application can also be biased, selective and therefore unfair.

It is ok that these companies might do that, but not OK to hide under shields meant for the companies that do not do that (like ISPs)

What shields? What kind of consequences do you imagine these sites should face for biased content moderation?
