"Actual free speech"? You mean like when Trump wanted to pin liability on private companies for allowing people to post their free speech on social media?

"Section 230 says that internet platforms that host third-party content — think of tweets on Twitter, posts on Facebook, photos on Instagram, reviews on Yelp, or a news outlet’s reader comments — are not liable for what those third parties post (with a few exceptions). For instance, if a Yelp reviewer were to post something defamatory about a business, the business could sue the reviewer for libel, but it couldn’t sue Yelp. Without Section 230’s protections, the internet as we know it today would not exist. If the law were taken away, many websites driven by user-generated content would likely go dark.

After Facebook and Twitter deleted posts containing factual inaccuracies about the risks of Covid-19, Trump issued his loudest demand yet to repeal the law:

REPEAL SECTION 230!!!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 6, 2020"

So sorry to let facts get in the way of your dumbass memes, child.
