Section 230 was written to allow platforms to do just this. As an example, say I run a forum dedicated to flowers. Topics include Care & Feeding, Arranging, and Drying & Pressing. As a moderator, I can choose to block all posts that deal with geraniums, because I hate the smell of those. If I then miss a post titled, "Hey, who's bringing the flowers to the cocaine and machine gun party next week?", I am not suddenly liable for that. I moderate in good faith, but my FlowerForum has gotten really popular recently, and I am starting to miss some posts. Users didn't report it to me, I wasn't on my radar. My previous activity banning users that like geraniums will not cause me to become the "publisher" of all forum content. |
