              §230 generally allows fb/goog/et al. to mod content but mostly use it to avoid taking responsibility for its effects en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_230_of_the_Communications_Decency_Act#History

          §230 was intended to *encourage* providers to monitor problematic content but it's mostly used to justify inaction en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnes_v._Yahoo!,_Inc.#Opinion_of_the_Court

      all this to say that the nyt op-ed is confused: 230(c) protects this good samaritan filtering (many people *expect* it)

    fb taking down fake news is not a Chilling Effect—fb is free to set its own agenda & norms around acceptable content & its privacy policies.
