| > how they aren’t violating 230 So... I'm with you ideologically: I don't think anybody should be force-censoring anything (allow users to suppress content they themselves don't want to see, but don't suppress it for everybody). However, CDA section 230 says exactly the opposite of what I think you think it says: "(c)Protection for “Good Samaritan” blocking and screening of offensive material (1)Treatment of publisher or speaker No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider. (2)Civil liability No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account of— (A)any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected; or (B)any action taken to enable or make available to information content providers or others the technical means to restrict access to material described in paragraph (1)." In other words, section 230 (paragraph c) explicitly protects Twitter in this case. |
