If the whole Section 230 gets deleted - and isn't carefully replaced -
then many DNSBLs and spam filters and spam filtering technology
providers with get sued out of business (even if just by SLAPP lawsuits
suddenly making more progress and costing a fortune in attorney feeds).
These costs will then get passed onto consumers in the form of either
MUCH WORSE spam filtering, or much higher costs for email hosting
services. The same is true for Internet content filters, too.
Be careful what you wish for, you might get it!
