Re: Classifying them like utilies....
All I did was describe a problem. I didn't suggest "breaking" anything, or even what I would change to fix that problem. The acrimony about section 230 has emerged from the fact that these private companies are close to monopolising communication between people for most purposes. Getting rid of it isn't the solution, but so much of the discussion has boiled down to "muh private companies!", and all parties deliberately reading malice into everything that disagrees with them, whilst ignoring the real issues at stake, that getting rid of it appears to be the solution.
