For those out of the loop like I was: some senators want to repeal Section 230 (which gives immunity to online platforms from being held liable for content posted by users) and, as seen here, have been trying out the "unhinged 'think of the children' emotional appeal using social media CEOs as strawmen" approach.

A fine approach.

What's missing though, is their motive. Why do they want to repeal Section 230?
