I’m generally opposed to its repeal, I think treating a company like Facebook or Twitter as a publisher for something Joe Schmoe says is ridiculous. With that said, companies could or at least should be held accountable for activity it’s aware of and fails to do anything about.

Bmdrocks asked you why it matters if  Section 230 gets repealed if it serves no purpose. He didn't say that you wanted it repealed - he's essentially asking why Facebook is spending so much money trying to make changes to it if it has no function. Why Is Mark Zuckerberg asking Congress to amend the law to prevent competition that could threaten Facebook’s market dominance? Zuck's already admitted that Facebook benefitted from Section 230 which disproves your position that it's an inconsequential piece of legislation.

Oh, I certainly don't doubt the usefulness of crony legislation to the participants. Never have. Never will.

Why is it crony legislation?
