Section 230

Trump is screaming about repealing “Section 230” which protects online companies from liability for what users post. Typically think of Twitter, Facebook etc, but Yglesias below notes repeal could affect many small forums.
(@Matthew Yglesias ) Tweeted: When politicians yell about Section 230, they are obviously thinking of giant technology companies.
But at Slow Boring I run a moderated forum for members, which absent 230 would be impossible.
If the goal is to address big tech, you need a more tailored tool. https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status ... 28064?s=27
