They don’t seem to understand what happens if 230 goes away. Sites like this might be affected as they won’t want to be sued for every dumb thing one of us says. So they’ll either have to enforce an insanely strict moderation guidelines and gateways, or do away with the format entirely.
i.e. : this could essentially end: Parler, comments sections, forums, etc.
Why would the site that hosts DP, not just the owners of DP, take the risk of being sued? If I wanted to sue DP with no section 230 protections, there is nothing in the law preventing me from suing the hosting provider also and since the hosting provider has deeper pockets, they would be a better litigant.
