redwine11··on Twitter suspends the account of Venezuela's new National Assembly
You are correct, that is how the law is currently constructed, that is why I am for section 230 reform. They should not be able to objectively edit content as they see fit while also being given liability protection. Give them the option, you get liability protection but can not censor free speech or you do not get liability protection and can edit content as they see fit. Right now they have their cake and can eat it too.

Correct because you could be potential liable if you did nothing, right now they have no liability and the ability to have editorial control.

My understanding is they receive liability protection because they have no real editorial control, instead acting like a ISP

Need to lose section 230 protection then. Can't be an editorial and have liability protection.

Sounds like Twillo was actively helping hackers "That allowed them to see which users had moderator rights and this in turn allowed them to reset passwords of existing users with simple “forgot password” function. Since Twilio no longer authenticated emails, hackers were able to access admin accounts with ease."
