Any enthusiast message board would be unable to remove political offtopic material without losing section 230 protection. I don't really want to wade through a bunch of political ranting when I want to learn about the best graphics card for the newest AAA game. But on that same site I may want to read about some potential defamatory claims about manipulation of benchmarks.

I'm not sure I like that solution.

If the removal is done by the moderators not affiliated with the platform, this rule would not apply. As long as the platform (host) itself does not engage in political moderation. So you would create a community within a platform and moderate it as much as you want, as long as you are not an employee of that platform, just a regular user.
