I do not want to exempt internet platforms, I want to apply 230 as written, which is not the case now. 230 says that common carriers (eg telephone companies) providing a neutral service cannot be held liable for the messages people send across that neutral service. A tech company that censors some points of view is not a neutral service but is exercising editorial control, and can & should be held liable for what they choose to publish or exclude. The existing framework allows these companies to censor and still enjoy the legal protection of a common carrier. By requiring them to actually function as a common carrier to enjoy this protection, free speech would be enhanced rather than harmed.
