If we look at the history of Trump's cabinet appointments, trending towards competency is not the way i would describe it. If anything his appointments became less capable as time went on, the first wave was as good as any, the second was less stellar, and by the end it looked like they were taking whoever applied.

Looking through her other available pictures, it just seems she's not very photogenic. I would wager she looks much better in person, she seems to be one of those people who is always caught in the middle of some expression, with odd results. I sympathize as someone with a similar condition, I look incredibly awkward in photos but perfectly normal on video

This is completely untrue, S230 does not equal net neutrality. All S230 does is formalize the idea that you as a provider might not be aware of all illegality happening on your system and thus are not responsible for illegal content you are not aware of. If you are aware of it, S230 doesn't protect you at all. Your ideas about enforcing "terms of service" causing a company to be ineligible for protection makes no less sense as the law specifically mentions blocking traffic as a protected activity:

No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account of

(A) any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected; or

(B) any action taken to enable or make available to information content providers or others the technical means to restrict access to material described in paragraph (1).
