    While I don’t disagree with the general idea, Section 230 would introduce an uncontrollable risk into running any website with user-generated content and would essentially shut them down.

      If the site isn’t selling data, they wouldn’t lose 230 protection. So that would only be a risk for the companies selling their users’ data, not your regular forum or something.
