Clean-up sounds so good, and then reality sets in.

Conservatives get watched with a polished magnifying glass.

Leftists get watched through a telescope with one lens
that has been ground to the point of being opaque.

Bad idea. The biggest hammer to ensure political censorship doesn't occur is the threat of withdrawing CDA protection. But if they start getting held liable, then their going to start censoring a lot more than they currently do.

That's not good for conservatives, because we'll be the primary victims, and the left will get a pass.

Who should be held liable for the misdeeds of the deep state?

They can’t have it both ways. If they want immunity they need to be hands off, no bias.

Needs a little work.

“no provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.”

Providing they do not censor, ban, edit, delete or comment on the content from individual or group provider.

No hiding behind "community guidelines" or "hate/harmful speech."

Just because an information content provider has and states an opinion that a Platform provider dislikes does not make it harmful / hate speech.

It is simply free speech the platform provider personally hates.

Do it and kiss that Section 230 bye bye.

Platforms need to be utilities for communication, like the telpehone company. People can regulate what they see or not see by purchasing apps.

No reg on platforms.

No ability for platforms to regulate speech.

Unreal.....I like Barr less and less.

Do we really want to turn our speech rights over to the courts?

Protect the first amendment.

Mr.Barr, the moment online content jumps out of a computer and kills, maims, or so much as raises a welt on somebody, you can consider holding the ISPs responsible. Short of that, hands off.

By the way, this is a huge red flag!
