Sen @HawleyMO is so painfully wrong about #Section230, someone oughta sue Yale Law School for his opinions

Just kidding. That’s not how law works! But it’s about as nuts as suing websites for what users say

Let’s start with why Rep. Chris Cox (𝙍-CA) wrote 230 back in 1995...
#Section230 protects “tech platforms” just as it protects National Review’s site, or a user’s (ahem, Trump's) retweet of someone else’s defamatory statements

230 DOES Internet media differently from other print & broadcasting, because they ARE different
Traditional publishers review content pre-publication but Internet media just can’t b/c:
—SCALE: billions of pieces of content created daily
—SPEED: much content is real-time

Instead they rely on inherently imperfect content moderation AFTER “publication”
