Counter argument: having dedicated moderation might just be the low bar, in the same way that there is the expectation that you pay your employees a reasonable salary or pay for other services required to run your business.

I've been wondering about that as well, given the chances that §230 will be revoked

Can someone spin up a competent ML based/human moderator hybrid to moderate comments at Internet scale? (Disqus?) and perhaps offer an insurance plan to webhosts?

I think the problem is scaling moderation. Even Facebook and Twitter haven’t solved that problem.
