I am going to stop here and not reply further, because I think we're going in circles. Again: Section 230 is an exception for tech companies. It allows them less accountability than other businesses. There is no law enforcing stricter responsibility for tech companies than broadcast companies.

Which means, if Fox News isn't held accountable enough, you shouldn't see any reason for Section 230 to exist: It's not protecting tech companies from any effective law as it is, so removing it won't harm anyone.
