Everything is cross referenced pretty well but it’s nice to have an overview like this. I actually came back here to see what you had to say about the facebook ad boycott but was disappointed not to see anything.

Thank you for your comment. I don’t think I’m likely to persuade you to reconsider your views, but I did want to point out that I explained why First Amendment protections are NOT sufficient in https://ssrn.com/abstract=3351323

Section 230 immunity no longer makes sense. Social media should be subject to the same constraints as traditional media. The current advertising boycott of Facebook is the inevitable result of the lack of accountability of social media resulting from over broad statutory immunity. First Amendment protections should be sufficient. Postings by third part users are no different from letters to the editor. Modern AI algorithms make it economically feasible to monitor hate speech and other objectionable content. I accepted the Silicon Valley kool aid for too long. Section 230 must be repealed.
