Could not possibly agree more. When did we accept, "Users are doing the scamming, not the company" as an excuse? If it's your platform, you should be held responsible for all the illegal actions that it enabled.
If a magazine published a page with a scam, they're responsible. Same should apply to social media.
I literally don't care if it puts them out of business because the moderation would be too severe.
Sounds awesome, when do we start?

Section 230. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_230
As always, Washington doing the hard work of making sure corpos never need to fix anything, ever.
A sincere thank you, for providing me with the exact section of law that I disagree with.
Happy to help!
