Like, as someone who grew up in the formative years of the Internet, I get it, but also, what we have is incredibly bad and it's very possible we'd be better off without it. The tech crowd does not want to admit that every single effing website that lets you post images has CSAM. Every one! The tech crowd doesn't want to admit an entire generation of our kids are screwed beyond belief by social networking. The tech crowd doesn't want to admit that Donald effing Trump got elected because our population is incredibly easy to manipulate.

Our society is very, very screwed up right now and it's very likely the principle cause is that we gave Google and Facebook complete blanket immunity, and that was an incredibly moronic thing to do.

If something needs Section 230 to exist, it shouldn't exist. Full stop.
