This means nothing unless we get a case before the SC and a majority of the judges rule this way. Section 230 is most definitely unconstitutional and we need a full court behind that.
It is simply not being enforced because it is extremely vague as to what actions a publisher takes versus what actions a platform takes.
Clarification is sufficient. A complete repeal might not be necessary.
Sec 230 was made in the Clinton era, so it had no idea about all the technology we have now. Corporations simply need to be held to a clearly defined standard.
Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc. just need to be declared publishers if they decide to edit, delete, and block public-oriented content. If they want to be a public platform and get protections, then they need to act like a public platform. That's the original intent of 230 they have been clamouring to avoid in court.

Vague is enough to strike it down. Courts can do that, it's up to legislation to write not vague laws
If our current Legislation was tasked to write a new Sec 230, they would only further enshrine the very things we want done away with.
A new car might not be better than the old if it was designed by a sadistic psychopath.
