    Anyways in the US Section 230 of whatever law prevents companies and organizations from being liable for content users post to their websites. How is this any different than FB hosting the breeding grounds for Proud Boys et al, other than them not being a US company and them being leftist-aligned?

      US tech firms want to undo Section 230, because they have the capacity to prefilter stuff (thanks to AI moderation) and to pay fines, but smaller providers such as the Fediverse don’t.
