In reply to the discussion: Why would Democrats be so adamant about not repealing 230/setting up election commission? [View all]Blue_true
(31,261 posts)My point is they were not doing the job you claim they had the right to do. What is the value of moderation that is not used. They allowed lies to be told with damaging consequences to the targets of Trump. With Section 230 modified, Trump and platforms that facilitated his lies could be sued by the many people that Trump victimized while using those platforms.
btw, you were wrong about counter-suits, at least in my state of Florida. If a person is sued and is on solid ground, the defendant can file a counterclaim against the person suing. Once the counterclaim is won, that sets up a suit against the person that sued, using the facts that were established in the original case - that is a tall wall against people bringing frivolous lawsuits.
