> The courts have not clarified the line between acceptable editing and the point at which you become the "information content provider." To the extent that your edits or comment change the meaning of the information, and the new meaning is defamatory, you may lose the protection of Section 230.
I'm not qualified to say what the limit is, I'm merely hoping to provide some background on how 230 came about and that it does have some form of limits.
What's particularly unclear to me is that if you have a site under active moderation which could even include editorializing some small percentage of the posts that are made, how does that impact the potential liability from posts which you don't editorialize.
Right, again: if your edits cause the content to become defamatory, you may be liable for that specific content. Modifying any particular piece of content does not cause you to lose sec 230 protections in general.
So unless Trump's original tweet, or Twitter's fact check are defamatory or otherwise illegal, Twitter doesn't care.
