When pressed, some stakeholders will concede that reforming Section 230 along these lines will not impinge on First Amendment rights.  Instead, they argue, it will raise litigation costs. ... — PolitiTweet.org

In contrast, take downs would continue to benefit from Section 230 but only to the extent those decisions satisfy the statutory standard Congress codified in (c)(2). There’s a higher statutory bar for take downs than for decisions to leave content up. So more speech, not less. — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

This also pierces the claim that Section 230 reform will result in less speech, not more.    Leaving speech up would continue to benefit from the protections conferred by Section 230(c)(1)’s famous “26 words.” — PolitiTweet.org

The answer to that question flows from the text of the statute and leaves a website’s constitutional rights uninfringed. — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

In other words, the question presented by the Section 230 Petition is not whether the First Amendment will continue to cover a take down decision (it will) but whether a particular take down *also* benefits from Section 230’s statutory protections. — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

What Section 230 reform *would do* is bring much needed clarity to the terms contained in the statutory text. — PolitiTweet.org

Similarly, the claim that Section 230 reform would resurrect the Fairness Doctrine or mandate neutrality misses the mark.   The Petition is quite clear on this: It would not require any website to carry “any sort of content at all.” https://t.co/jGmubG8aLs — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

For instance, they argue that action on the Section 230 Petition would force websites to carry speech in violation of their First Amendment rights. Not at all. NTIA’s Petition expressly says that websites would retain their 1st Amendment right to remove content “for any reason.” https://t.co/c49VAhYfD0 — PolitiTweet.org

The debate over Section 230 often produces more heat than light. One reason: Big Tech’s lobbyists routinely conflate statutory protections with First Amendment rights. 🧵 — PolitiTweet.org

Federal court dismisses challenge to Trump’s Section 230 Executive Order on Preventing Online Censorship for lack of standing. Court: “One would think that [Plaintiff] CDT would applaud the President’s desire to prevent online censorship. But no matter.” https://t.co/XwLmJtC6Cy https://t.co/dNGCIBahBm — PolitiTweet.org
