Now maybe people here will understand why 230 is important.

can you point out which free speech i'm against?You love defending free speech when it suits your agenda.

Yes, any speech you disagree withcan you point out which free speech i'm against?
That’s what content moderators are for.Revoking 230 would kill smaller social media sites and political debate online.

Most sites can't pre-moderate all comments. If they did, i doubt that you'd like the result.That’s what content moderators are for.
It would be shit. If my goal were to crush online political speech, i would revoke 230 and do one more simple thing that i won't expand on, because i don't want to give them ideas.Maybe
if posts weren’t accessible to people who weren’t logged in and people sign the right language in the EULA it may still work

How much of DP's profits do you think would be eaten up by policing this site?This protection isn't that important. It has enabled the internet to become a place of untruths. I've got no issue with dumping this protection, because media companies could police their sites, it just costs them too much of their profits.
That’s an education problem not a censorship one.Where do you guys, if you do, draw the line between free speech and just plain BS designed to cause problems or benefit a person/group at others expense? By BS I mean an outright falsehood, not someones opinion.
Consider say a simple case. Let's say that someone starts claiming, mid major drought, that California's govt is actually hiding lots of water and that there isn't really a drought. Or maybe that the govt is actually lighting the wildfires etc. Looking for their 5 minutes of fame or to score political points maybe. The theory is stupid, but millions of the right political views would doubtless climb on board. Maybe someone in the govt gets killed by a now needlessly angry citizen who thinks the govt is robbing him/her.
Do we protect peoples 'right' to cause senseless harm for their own self interests, censor their communications, or charge them with inciting a murder? Don't read anything into the left/right bias in the scenario above..It was just the easiest example I could think of to explain.
Don't know and don't care. If a business can't afford to operate within certain standards, they go out of business, just as they always have. I imagine a business like DP would be able to continue operating in a 'membership' model.How much of DP's profits do you think would be eaten up by policing this site?
that pushes all the little guys out of business (like Walmart once did) and consolidates the power to the major players. kind of like what happened to radio.Don't know and don't care.

The govt has also allowed Walmart to take advantage of govt largesse to supplement their profits. Imo, Walmart operates in a monopolistic model that should not be allowed.that pushes all the little guys out of business (like Walmart once did) and consolidates the power to the major players. kind of like what happened to radio.
DP would need to show due diligence in removing problematic comments as soon as reasonably possible. Maybe a few more moderators but likely no additional cost.How much of DP's profits do you think would be eaten up by policing this site?
Walmart has 9.5% retail market share in the US. That's not a monopoly.The govt has also allowed Walmart to take advantage of govt largesse to supplement their profits. Imo, Walmart operates in a monopolistic model that should not be allowed.
Former Northern Territory detainee Dylan Voller wants to sue the companies in the New South Wales Supreme Court over alleged defamatory comments on their Facebook pages.
But the case had been stalled by a dispute over whether the outlets were the publishers of the material.
The High Court found that, by running the Facebook pages, the media groups participated in communicating any defamatory material posted by third parties and were therefore responsible for the comments.
Standards that didn't exist yesterday in Australia.Don't know and don't care. If a business can't afford to operate within certain standards, they go out of business, just as they always have. I imagine a business like DP would be able to continue operating in a 'membership' model.
