hmm.
It appears you are under the mistaken opinion that I was suggesting that the government step in and control anything. Quite the contrary, I do NOT want the government stepping in and determining what news is fit to print. At the same time, I don't want facebook or others determining what news is fit to print either.

The Section 230 debate and follow on rulings will determine how far facebook and others can go with moderating content on their platforms before they lose certain protections.
