    So Elon is purposely curating content on the platform? Isn’t that a violation of section 230? They should lose that protection if they are actively blocking free speech and marking news as spam.

      Why would that be a section 230 violation? That only means the providers are not legally responsible for user content.

        It’s the argument a lot of politicians are making, that once platforms start curating user generated content they become responsible for it despite section 230. I think it’s bullshit, but it is the argument being made.

          Yeah it’s bs. Congress can change that, perhaps a court could make changes. Anything happening now is just fine and any changes would only affect the future.
