Somewhat disappointed in the people who are so quick to say that we need to reform Section 230 because "big tech companies are bad," without considering whether or not it would even fix the problem. Too many of my mentions are people who seem to not care about the consequences (and whether or not such reforms would help fix any perceived problem). It's just "company bad, therefore, 230 must be bad."

Think through the details, people.

@mmasnick I view 230 as a delicate china vase balanced on the top of a high pole. Over the years it has developed some cracks, and now both the Left and the Right claim that *they* (with opposite approaches) can fix it and are shaking the pole to try bring it down, where it will smash into pieces on the floor, along with most UGC on the Internet.
