And do you know WHY you wouldn't get sued under section 230 when publishing content on a major corporate website?

Because lawsuits aren't free.

Before Section 230, suing someone who posted defamation about you (which you can still do, because Section 230 has never restricted you from doing so) was not free either.

OK?

Lawsuits aren't free but the US is a very litigious society and people do get sued over the content they post online.
