Yeah, I agree. Its not surprising though. Most people are extremely ignorant about the base issues at play. Sure, everyone has an opinion but the basis is mostly their tribe and feelings. Few people understand the difference between positive and negative rights for example. Few even understand the context around the founding documents of the US. So we can't really have intelligent conversations with most people. Weaponized ignorance is in play.
You make a good point about protection against frivolous private actors. We don't see this working on places like YouTube where record labels flag content that should be under fair use. That gets into the nonsense of IP law.
I get the feeling that Section 230 isn't the problem or solution but I don't know enough yet to have a strong opinion.
Agreed, IP law is an entirely separate issue. I generally like the writings of Steven Kinsella. I went to law school to do patent & general IP law, so it has been a longstanding feeling of dissonance that I generally dislike IP law (though I am much more negative toward copyright law than patent, and generally more accepting of TM than either of the others).

Kinsella's work red pilled me on IP law
