You’re correct.

Congress accepts all that sweet ca$h from them, however. So, forget it.

Any ideas?

Find a plaintiff (preferably in Texas, Louisiana, or Mississippi) who has been defamed by someone on Facebook (preferably a high-profile leftist who should have been banned as “dangerous” under Facebook’s professed standards). File suit against Facebook for defamation in federal court in Texas, Louisiana, or Mississippi. When Facebook raises Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, argue that Facebook is not an “interactive computer service,” but is an “information content provider” under the Act and is acting as a publisher because it curates and exercises editorial control over, and thus participates in developing, the content on Facebook pages, and thus is not protected under that statute.

While there have been close to 100 cases on Section 230 of the CDA and Facebook, neither the Fifth Circuit nor the Supreme Court have ruled on this issue. Also, this claim should open the door to a lot of discovery on Facebook’s practices in deciding what goes on Facebook.

Just a thought.
