Ah you're responsible for your user's actions, you say???

This is something that many geeks will disagree with me, but I think section 230 needs to go or be modified that it only applies to hobbyists.

Section 230 helped a lot with forums, Usenet and other such applications that wouldn't happen without it, but currently is used by mega corporations and essentially created new media patients. One that they don't get any responsibility for content while they control the content (via algorithms).
