I haven't seen any solid and concise explanations of Section 230—so I decided to make my own. Let me know what you thought!
Also to my regular subscribers—this is my first official "full" video using my new camera/lighting setup. I will continue to make small adjustments until the setup is perfect (for example, in this video, I increased ISO from 320 to 500, making the image a bit brighter). If you have any more advice as to how I can improve my video quality, please recommend some options! Thanksss!!

Short Version:
I just want people to understand more about section 230, before they decide that they want to remove it completely.
At the end of the day, they are a business, they can have what ever company policy they want/TOS/Terms Of Service/User Agreement they want, they own the servers/accounts/APPs, the users aren't paying for the service, the customers/Companies/people paying for ads are, we are the product/we are giving our data up, that they sell, so we can use their services, we don't have to use their services/servers/apps, if we don't want to.
If you go in Walmart and run around yelling and screaming profanity, Walmart will escort you out/ask you to leave/they MAY ban you from the store, because you violated company policy.
Also these companies need to keep their customers/the companies/people paying for ads, happy as well, by removing certain content/keeping profanity out/trying to make sure contradicting information/content isn't beside/around customers ads, ALSO SOME of their customers MIGHT NOT want fake news all over their site.
Also without section 230, user agreements/TOS/Terms Of Service, would have to protect these companies, because companies COULD get sued, because they would be liable, for what their users say and do.
It could be for something as crazy/simple as, someone going on to Amazon and leaving a bad review on a product.
ALSO ISP/Internet Service Providers, would ALSO be responsible, for what we do on the internet/they could also be sued, for what we say/do on the internet.
Point being is, this is just going to cause more censorship.
Anyway we don't have to use these services, if we don't want to.

This is how these companies protect their selfs in the future.
These companies have to moderate, because these companies NEED to make money/be SOMEWHAT family friendly, for their customers/companies/people paying for ads.
So their ONLY choice, in general, BUT DEFINITELY without section 230, is to moderate EVERYTHING, well everything that violates Terms Of Services/User Agreements/Company Policy.
Also The User Agreement,TOS and Company policy was created to protect that specific company/that individual company, meaning that company can make what ever decisions they want, about their own company/private property/servers.
Another example, if I have guest over at my house and I set rules for them, they have to follow those rules, but I don't, I could also choose to enforce those rules, how ever I want to, meaning, if I have a close friend, I can tell them, they don't have to worrie about that, or I can say, if you pay this much, those rules don't apply to you, or I could have a separate contract with an individual company, where they get another version of TOS.
Heres some more examples of how section 230 doesn't matter as much, as people think it does, well it does, if you don't want to be censored, but if censor ship doesn't bother you, repealing section 230, won't effect you.
If section 230 is removed, user Agreements/Terms Of Service and company policy will protect these companies, the ones, we ALL agree to, when we access/use these companies websites/apps.
Also these companies can claim they are not biased, the censorship is a direct reflection of their customers/the people buying ads, don't want certain content around their ads.
Also EVERYTHING will be moderated/censored, EVEN MORE, IF section 230 gets removed.
You can't go to Walmart yelling and screaming profanity, without getting thrown out and MAYBE even banned from the store, because of company policy, no shirt no shoes, no service; no mask, you can't enter the building.
Also as another example have you ever read what you sign when you go to the Dentist?
Some of what that says, basically says, if we break your jaw/deform you, we are not responsible and you can't sue the company or employee.
Also to go a little further with that, Amazon, to protect them selfs, from law suits/reviews on their websites that are bad, companies would have to have an agreement, with these companies, meaning, if you want your product at Walmart/Amazon, you will need to agree to this, then that product would be approved, meaning that company can no longer sue Amazon/Walmart, for a bad review, a buyer/user leaves.
This would protect the company from what the user says and does AND this would protect the companies selling other companies products as well.
This could also go further, with website agreements too, meaning your ISP/Internet Service Provider, would ALSO be responsible for what you say and do, on the internet, so, certain sites would be on an approved list, based on their user agreements/you would have access to some websites, that are approved and some websites, you can't access.
So MORE censorship.

In my opinion, Section 230 should not be modified because a company that creates a platform should have the right to decide who can and cannot use it, and what they allow and don't allow on their platform, just as a landlord can set rules for their tenants such as "no pets" or "no illegal activites." Also, thanks for providing such a great distraction from my computer science homework that I didn't want to work on, now I'm getting back to work.

i think section 230 is just fine if people couldn't send hate they would be incredibly violent and vice versa, you often see this with countries that don't have interenet

Section 230 protects corporations, websites. People using a smartphone or computer have no rights. We lose our first ammendment when on a computer. We have no equal justice while using a device online. I'd like to start a class action law suit to protect the people. Or a civil suit. But are attorney's afraid to go after it?
