If Section 230 goes away and platforms become liable for any content posted on those platforms social media will go away. The internet will be even more controlled by the bigger companies. Comments sections will go away. This site might go away. It would depend on if Tiki wanted to moderate every comment. People that think censorship on the internet is happening now would be in for a very wild surprise. No more shit-posting on Twitter, no more conspiracy theory posting on Facebook. YouTube moderation gets stricter or YouTube goes away entirely. Livestreams probably become a thing of the past unless you can afford to pay the company for a real-time censor.
Just because we all have a right to free speech from the government doesn’t mean private enterprises have to let people use their platforms. Don’t like it? Find a platform that does or start your own. Use those bootstraps I hear so much about from people born with a silver spoon in their mouth.
