Section 230 doesn't need reformed, it needs enforced properly. If Twitter and Facebook and YouTube want to ban people for otherwise completely legal speech with an obvious political bent they are now publishers.
That feels like stretching the law for me. Section 230 was never understood to outlaw moderation. If we'd like the law to, it can change.
That's not "moderating" that's editorializing. Moderation is banning people for stuff like threats and posting porno.
YouTube bans people because they don't like what they say.
There's no way to enforce the difference between those 2 things. I mean you can't ask government to do it. You can lobby YT direclty.
