A cross-party coalition of U.S. senators, including Lindsey Graham, unveiled sweeping legislation this week targeting Section 230—the longstanding legal framework that has shielded social media platforms and online services from liability for user-generated content. The proposed changes would essentially place an expiration mechanism on this protective clause, fundamentally reshaping how platforms handle moderation and user accountability. This legislative push signals growing pressure from both sides of the aisle to rebalance the relationship between platform immunity and corporate responsibility. For the broader digital economy, particularly as Web3 and decentralized platforms evolve, such regulatory shifts could reshape the competitive landscape and compliance requirements across the industry.

Are Clause 230 going to become invalid? This means the good days for centralized platforms are truly coming to an end. --- Wait, isn't this actually good news for Web3... Decentralized platforms never had this burden in the first place. --- Data shows that US regulation has always been behind; it will probably take another two years for it to actually be implemented. --- The key issue is who defines the boundaries of "user-generated content." If the project’s rule design is flawed, it could result in total loss. --- Lindsey Graham leading the charge? Uh, I need to look into this person's background... Be cautious of capital trying to use regulation reshuffling to seize influence. --- Don't be greedy. If this proposal is implemented as planned, small and medium platforms won't survive, and in the end, they will be swallowed by big capital. --- Recommend monitoring the subsequent actions of these wallet addresses to see if there are signs of early withdrawal.

Is Section 230 doomed? Looks like the opportunity for Web3 has arrived, haha.

Section 230 is going to be amended again? Now platforms will have to take real responsibility, much better than before.

Is Section 230 doomed? Now platforms will have to truly take responsibility for user content, which could change the entire ecosystem.
