Without Section 230 to hide behind, social media just becomes another publisher. Under US law, that means pretty broad speech protection, within well-defined limits (libel, defamation, incitement). And it would apply to the users of the platforms, not just to the platform itself. It promises to end the arbitrary jumble of Woke incoherence and repression now at work. E.g., Trump is banned from Twitter, but not Hamas or ISIS or neo-Nazis.
Nice summary, guys.
