I think there's been an impression that removing 230 protections would keep Big Tech from censoring conservatives. I don't see how. As we're looking at here, it seems this would only cause platforms to step up their censorship and make alternative platforms unable to operate.
The government should be going after Big Tech for monopoly abuse; no new laws needed. They actively purchase competitors and collude to lock out any new platforms from revenue and even the resources to operate. Shit, Google owns the way a majority of sites make revenue. If the government hasn't the stones to enforce the laws we've got, I don't see how new ones are going to help. The branch of government that's supposed to do that is The Executive; I understand it's been hard to get a good one with the election cheating, which is why it all comes back to "no political solution" I suppose.
