    There is unfortunately no easy solution to the problem of censorship and moderation. As Bill has said many times, the mods team on Avalon sometimes have discussions on what to do with certain problems on this forum. Imagine those discussions on a platform with a billion users.

    The whole section 230 thing will in my opinion not help. I'm glad the previous poster pointed that out as well. In my mind, when Trump said to repeal section 230 do the big tech companies can be held accountable, he expected that he would not be censored or his tweets would not get flagged anymore. But I don't think that will be the case at all.

    As far as I understand it, if section 230 is removed, there's really two options:
    1. On Platforms that decide to still moderate, there will me MORE moderation and MORE censorship, since the companies can't take any chances anymore. Cancel culture will become much worse on those platforms, because anyone who has ever said anything questionable, will have to be removed.
    2.Platforms that decide to do no moderation at all, will be a cesspool of trolls, porn, gore, and everything else that most people don't want to see on a social media platform. Also, there will always be illegal stuff on there as well, and they will be forced by law enforcement to remove illegal content anyway.

    Anything in between the 2 extremes will always have problems with some members and there will always be screams of bias, censorship or favoritism. I just don't see an ideal situation.

    Maybe someone in Switzerland should create a new social media platform so they have the least amount of bias in moderating their users?

    With the removal of Parler from Amazon web services, this entire conversation may soon be moot. I am still suspicious of the real motives of the folks behind Parler, but I absolutely do not support deplatforming anyone, or any business.

    Also, nice post, Deneon. Perhaps we got off on the wrong foot.
