Section 230 was passed specifically to allow internet companies to delete, obscure, or moderate content posted by users without exposing themselves to civil liability as a result of Stratton Oakmont, Inc. v. Prodigy.

Anyone using this "editorial" argument is uninformed or lying https://twitter.com/JimHansonDC/status/1266381924760723456">https://twitter.com/JimHanson...
This is entirely false. the law does the exact opposite of this. only someone deeply illiterate could read the statute and walk away with this understanding. it& #39;s also common knowledge the section was added explicitly to allow editing. https://twitter.com/JimHansonDC/status/1266383538074550274?s=20">https://twitter.com/JimHanson...
I haven& #39;t seen Twitter edit a single tweet. I& #39;ve seen them ad warnings. That& #39;s not editing. And Section 230 specifically prevents companies from being sued for restricting access to content if they find it "objectionable," which means basically anything. https://twitter.com/JimHansonDC/status/1266384714409148419">https://twitter.com/JimHanson...
Nope. That& #39;s not changing a single word. Making users click an extra button to read a tweet isn& #39;t editing, but even if it were, they& #39;d still be covered.

I& #39;m showing this guy like fucking DNA evidence that the exact opposite of what he& #39;s saying is true and he& #39;s just like, NOPE DERRRR.... https://twitter.com/JimHansonDC/status/1266387209277657100">https://twitter.com/JimHanson...
This is a totally nonsensical distinction since the argument Jim is making is that "editing" doesn& #39;t require Twitter to change any of the words the user wrote.

By this definition, I& #39;m editing Jim& #39;s tweet right now. https://twitter.com/JimHansonDC/status/1266388383254839296">https://twitter.com/JimHanson...
I& #39;m editing Jim& #39;s tweet right now. This is me, editing Jim. I& #39;m editing Jim and he can& #39;t stop me. https://twitter.com/JimHansonDC/status/1266388898634174465">https://twitter.com/JimHanson...
