I agree with this position. Too many people seem to be looking for a small "patch" to the law to fix the problems we have today, or just more banning and censorship is the solution (which is permitted by Section 230).

I think shielding websites from liability for user comments is just a bad idea. Yes, it would probably mean the end of comments on the internet as we know it. That's the point of the article.

So you advocate for no user speech, only government / corporate legal speak? A strawman yes, but what is the alternative here? Calling for more court cases seems like very chilling effect, and won't stop bad faith actors.
