On the other hand, Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act came about because of politicians not liking the no-moderation that was Compuserve, and preferring the greater moderation of Prodigy.

Ignoring anything political there, I'm guessing Compuserve still had its rough edges, though maybe it wasn't so much with trolling?

I saw a stat recently, that I'm not at all certain on the accuracy of, but that claimed that Facebook made more revenue per-user than Netflix. Which... yeah, I would find Facebook incredibly easy to cut if it suddenly cost as much as Netflix.
