Who the H*ll made Big Tech the arbiter of information/misinformation?! Once these platforms begin editing their site, they no longer deserve the protections of Section 230 immunity!

Exactly.

I wonder if a class action suit could be filed on behalf of anyone who has been censored by Twitter, Facebook, or other entities? Based on Section 230, it would seem that these entities have no exposure for what is on their site, thus any censorship would be liable to free-speech rights. In other words, they would not have the right to selectively censor, and have no legal exposure compelling them to do so.

Those censored should have 'standing' to file suit, and if this is challenged now is the time to appeal this to the Supreme Court.
