You lack the capacity to commit logic. I'm done arguing with you.Common carriers never had legal liability. Section 230 didn’t make that happen and it has nothing to do with common carriers. You are confused.You lack the capacity to commit logic.If they didn’t edit, they’d have no legal liability to be relieved of.Wrong, turd. Relieving them of legal liability for what their users post relieves them of the need to edit. Publishers have always had the right to edit their content. Only common carriers don't have the right to edit their content.If they didn’t act as editors, they wouldn’t need section 230 in the first place. You don’t know what you’re talking about.Nope. Exactly the opposite is the case.
If they edit, they become publishers and become liable for what they publish. They created rule 230 to protect common carriers from what their users submit. They function as common carriers only if they don't edit what they publish. That's the definition of a common carrier, like the phone company.
