 Section 230 at heart just means that platforms can offer users a place to go and express their views on a range of topics, from restaurant reviews to political news, heck, even commentary on a field of emus, without incurring liability for what those users say. This is what user-generated content is. Without this law, you wouldn't be able to tweet, review restaurants on Yelp, complain in the comments section of your favorite digital news site, or engage your favorite Reddit community, because these platforms would be terrified of the liability that would arise from your post. This is the law that keeps the internet humming along, enabling people from all over the world to talk to each other freely. This law also allows platforms to develop an array of communities by moderating out content that is contrary to the community standard they developed and you agreed to when you signed up to join the community. So for example, this prevents people on their favorite cooking app or those discussing baseball in the MLB app from being inundated with rants from people spewing white supremacist talking points or sharing inappropriate images, and I'm not talking about a fallen souffle. Section 230 provides platforms this flexibility so they can actually promote more speech consistent with those users' expectations. An unmoderated network, particularly one with public discussions, would be overwhelmed with low quality content, abusive users, and spam.
