If they manage to repeal section 230 I think it’ll push to some degree social media to decentralized/peer to peer platforms.
People having a conversation this way without a third party (facebook forex) would be better protected by the first amendment, since the government can sue penalize facebook for stuff people say on their platform, but you and friends, not so much.
I’m really hopeful that what comes after lemmy/the fediverse is based on tech out of the https://spritely.institute/
I highly doubt that would be the outcome. Suing the crap out of someone operating the modern-day equivalent of the BBS would be a great way to chill free speech.
