This is exactly it. Section 230 already has limitations, if a site fails to act when notified they lose the protections.

as much as i hat how tiktok runs their platform, as well as the CCP and how they run the country, that senator is an asshole trying to make it about him being chinese and all of the discourse attached to that topic.

Bold move, Cotton
