I do not think that that's what will happen. Section 230 will NOT get removed. ISPs and email service providers, and blog platforms, will still be able to use it. But companies that add/remove/replace/gray-out/delete/hide/push-to-bottom content that they claim they did not editorialize -- will be called Publishers. So these businesses will not be able to use statutory protections that are available for non-publishers under section 45.230. An analogy might be: a for-profit-business cannot claim tax benefits available for a non-for-profit organizations. So the tax-code does not get removed, just because somebody was actively abusing it. It stays the same, but the abuser would face criminal investigation. And if the abuser was found to systemically and purposefully avoiding to be recognized as 'Publisher' (or as a for-profit business in this analogy), then the criminal penalties would be more severe, then otherwise. |
