Reply to comment by RonPMexico in Study of more than 2,400 Facebook users suggests that platforms — more than individual users — have a larger role to play in stopping the spread of misinformation online by giuliomagnifico

This is a bad take. You can’t force a company to host speech it doesn’t agree with. It’s also unrealistic to expect a company to monitor every single user post on their platform. This is why we have protections like Section 230 in place.

My point is section 230 shouldn't exist. Either the company is responsible for the posted content or it isn't.

A company removing content it does not agree with gives content it doesn't remove its implied endorsement. They can't have it both ways.
