Section 230 is good for companies that do not interfere with the content uploaded by users. When a company steps in to control what users can say or upload on their website then they are publishers just like the people who make newspapers and magazines. Publishers do not have a right to section 230 protections, and companies who censor (like youtube, twitter, reddit, and facebook) should be able to be sued just like newspapers and magazines can be sued.
