We don’t need to eliminate Section 230, we need to limit it.

We don’t allow lawsuits against the phone company for the content of the conversations that because the phone company is simply the carrier, it doesn’t control the content.

Ditto for lawsuits against ISPs.

What we need companies like Facebook and Twitter to do is to choose. If they’re simply a carrier, distributing the content of others, they should be immune to lawsuits for the content.

But if they’re going to censor the content, they are no longer content-neutral carriers, and they should lose the protections that we provide for carriers.

I do not disagree. However I think the only way to force the issue is to go for a full repeal and then craft better legislation that is not abused by monopolistic tech companies

It needs a repeal of the censorship protection section. I don’t really get why Trump would be going for a full repeal since it would only hurt him.
