Comment I don't know why everyone thinks repealing S230 (Score 4, Interesting) 92

Repealing Section 230 does not mean that suddenly every nutcase will be free to say whatever they want.

It will probably result in all comment sections being removed altogether since sites will suddenly be liable for what is posted there by others. Almost certainly this will result in fewer forums for communication since all websites will be liable for their content.

Especially in America where litigation is king.

So you'll have your free speech, and no where to voice it.

Except they are proposing just that. Perhaps asbestos doesn't have issues underwater, but there are more dangerous chemicals on an aircraft carrier than just the asbestos. In this situation, it may be the asbestos that is halting the recycling of this ship, but don't fool yourself in thinking that is the only problem with this scenario.

The problem with your argument is that when ships are sunk to make a reef, they are cleaned of everything but the steel. Even the paint, if I'm not mistaken. You can't just sink a ship full of thousands of gallons of motor oil and other dangerous chemicals and say it's not going to cause a problem. Eventually that ship will rust through and relase its deadly payload.
