Unrealistic Expectations


Both sides have unrealistic expectations about how a Sec 230 repeal would hurt their foes while miraculously leaving them unscathed. 

This article predates the latest shouting match by a year, but it's no less true. 

I predict some of the first victims of a Sec. 230 repeal would be free blogging services. I mean, Blogspot is already Google's vermiform appendix and probably just kept running on pure inertia. If they gotta worry about getting sued for everything said by every crank with a blog, it'll be cheaper to just pull the plug on the whole shebang.
