Platforms should bear some responsibility for the content they distribute. Particularly when they run algorithms to promote content based on what they think will engage your attention. There should be no "safe haven."

Still wild to me that people advocate for making platforms responsible for user-submitted content on a website that consists entirely of user-submitted content.
Everyone always has some excuse for why they believe their favorite websites and platforms wouldn’t be impacted, but generally these problems would result in a situation where only the big platforms like Facebook could afford to comply and the platforms like Hacker News or all of your favorite forums and chat hangouts would be forced to close because they can’t afford to comply with laws making them liable for user generated content.
Repealing 230 would only consolidate power among the big social sites who can afford to comply and lobby.

Meta sits behind 230 to let the pedophile rings roll.
