  Without 230 they WOULDN'T be protected by a notice or takedown scheme.
  And even if they were, they would make it EXTREMELY EASY to carry out censorship.
  As determing whether something is defamatory is even harder then determing whether someone is copyright infringement any request to takedown ANY sought of negative comment would likely be carried out.

  Re: Re:

  Your scenario is FAR more likely to happen in a world without Section 230.
  WIth Section 230, review sites can safely exist.
  Without Section 230, review sites would be MUCH rarer due to liabilty issues.

  A bunch of anonymous insults isn't going to silence a whistleblower.
  Getting their content taken down and preventing anyone else from hosting it will.
  Without section 230, silencing whistle blowers would be much easier.

  Re: Re: Re:

  And many of those websites will only allow comments for certain aritcles and disallow them for others. I've lost count of how many times I've seen "we are not accepting comments for legal reasons." on the Daily Mail for example. And the quantity of UGC on websites with comment sections is tiny compared to what you have on youtube, twitter, facebook, tumblr, reddit, deviantart, ETC.
