These are the 4 realistic outcomes of getting rid of section 230 protections which say: no interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher.
Option 1: every post must be vetted and manually approved by mods. For a big site, not doable.
Option 2: everyone must register with real id and they are all responsible for what they posted. Doable, and goodbye anonymity. Dictators wet dream. Welcome thought police.
Option 3: Say fuck it and close shop, get rid of all user content.
Option 4: stop doing business in the us, host all servers, all infrastructure, register everything in foreign countries.
This is what they are all begging for. Complete fucking idiocy. 230 is the only reason we can have a forum like this. It's the only reason you are allowed to post on someone else's site. Unless of course if you want to just use foreign companies servers.
I wouldn’t. I don’t work for the government. I didn’t say anything about my position on the issue. I’m telling you what I think the goal is. Please take the attitude somewhere the fuck else. I owe you nothing.
Attitude? Wtf man I asked you an honest question. You suggested reform, how do we reform this in any meaningful way? If you don't want to have a conversation maybe you should take the attitude somewhere else.
