It remains perplexing to me that so many people -- especially among the Trumpist world -- seem to believe that removing Section 230 will somehow make websites more likely to host their incendiary speech. We've explained before why the opposite is true -- adding more liability for user speech means a lot fewer sites will allow user speech. But now we have a real world example to show this.

Last month, in a truly bizarre ruling, the Australian High Court said that news publishers should be liable for comments on social media on their own posts to those social media platforms. In other words, if a news organization published a story about, say, a politician, and then linked to that story on Facebook, if a random user defamed the politician in the comments on Facebook... then the original publisher could face liability for those comments.
