We also picked up a canning hobby during the pandemic...

I can assure you there are many people giving bad advice about canning out there, there is an entire facebook group called "rebel canners" that think the USDA is full of shit and they can do whatever they want. In no world is a recipe for canned mac n cheese safe - the fats can cause the seal to fail - but if you go on any number of these "grandma" groups, they are espousing recipes like this.

Check out "Early History of USDA Home Canning Recommendations" for some fun stories about that time Grandma didn't make it... There is literally a 100 years of science in modern canning recommendations.

USDA approved recipes have been validated many times over accounting for variations in food density, growing conditions, elevation, equipment, with many 9s worth of safety built in.

Sure you can follow the recipe and it works out great, but that doesn't mean its trivial.

/r/Canning is a fantastic resource for science based recipes.

There are tons of groups out there with dangerous canning advice and I hope /r/Canning doesn't end up like them: "well grandma never died so this recipe is ok" is a great way to end up with Botulism.....

It's a great day to be C. Botulinum...

If they weren't relying on section 230, then they wouldn't be guilty of anything - they could block whomever they want... The only reason there is even a case here is because of 230's neutrality requirements..

on the flip side, they would incur liability for what users are saying on their platform...
