The Date and event more important than an idea Before the Gnomes, Orcs, Goblins and Trolls took over the interwebs. July effect, sometimes referred to as the July phenomenon, is a perceived but scientifically unfounded increase in the risk of medical errors and surgical complications that occurs in association with the time of year in which United States medical school graduates begin residencies. A similar period in the United Kingdom is known as the killing season or, more specifically, Black Wednesday, referring to the first Wednesday in August when postgraduate trainees commence their rotations. Eternal September or the September that never ended Usenet slang for a period beginning around 1993 when Internet service providers began offering Usenet access to many new users. The flood of new users overwhelmed the existing culture for online forums and the ability to enforce existing norms. AOL followed with their Usenet gateway service in March 1994, leading to a constant stream of new users. Hence, from the early Usenet point of view, the influx of new users in September 1993 never ended.

In the 1959 case, Smith v. California, where the Supreme Court ruled that putting liability on the provider (a book store in this case) would have "a collateral effect of inhibiting the freedom of expression, by making the individual the more reluctant to exercise it."

Section 230 protections are not limitless and require providers to remove material illegal on a federal level, such as in copyright infringement cases. In 2018, Section 230 was amended by the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act (FOSTA-SESTA) to require the removal of material violating federal and state sex trafficking laws. In the following years, protections from Section 230 have come under more scrutiny on issues related to hate speech and ideological biases in relation to the power that technology companies can hold on political discussions and became a major issue during the 2020 United States presidential election.
Section 230 has often been called "The 26 words that made the Internet"

Many social media sites, notably the Big Tech companies of Facebook, Google, and Apple, as well as Twitter, have come under scrutiny as a result of the alleged Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections, where it was alleged that Russian agents used the sites to spread propaganda and fake news to swing the election in favor of Donald Trump. These platforms also were criticized for not taking action against users that used the social media outlets for harassment and hate speech against others. Shortly after the passage of FOSTA-SESTA acts, some in Congress recognized that additional changes could be made to Section 230 to require service providers to deal with these bad actors, beyond what Section 230 already provided to them

The RESTRICT Act (S. 686) is proposed legislation that was first introduced in the United States Senate
https://reason.com/2023/03/29/could-the-restrict-act-criminalize-the-u

Introduced by Senator Mark Warner, the Act proposes that the Secretary of Commerce be given the power to review business transactions involving certain information and communications technologies products or services when they are connected to a "foreign adversary" of the United States, and pose an "undue and unacceptable risk" to the national security of the United States or its citizens.

Nice.
Pass that, then all you need to do is move every tech firm outside of the united states (by taxing them so hard that it isn't financially viable for them to remain here) and you can have a complete lockdown of the internet like china has and stay within the boundaries of the Constitution.
At least, that's what I'd do if I was the man who sold the world.

It’s so simple: Axe 26 words from the Communications Decency Act. Welcome to a world without Section 230.
“no provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider”
I'll tell you what... Without even getting into the large-picture ramifications of this happening, FFF.net finally shuts down the very day this passes.
Not only would Haken be responsible for every vile thing than anybody has ever posted in the RWED or other forums on this site, but he would also be wide open for lawsuits for every pirated link to movies, books and comic books that Second has posted over the years, and any potentially countless links that others have put up in the years prior to that.
The internet would be a shell of what it used to be. All small blogs that aren't run by billionaires disappear within days or weeks and all we're left with is Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and news sites. Comment sections on the news sites are likely to be taken down. Possibly on YouTube as well. The moderation teams and AI will see huge financial increases and Terms of Services will be updated with draconian mandates on what you can and cannot say. Most of this will be under the guise of being "family friendly" or "safe for children", but anything deemed to be "misinformation" by TPTB would be silenced as well. Further laws would be passed in congress allowing the companies the tools to go after users for financial damages and even prison time for saying anything that could put their companies in a legal predicament.
I've seen this future...
