Just like this forum, Reddit has TOS and Rules, and can and should deal with users who violate them. Not sure that any laws need to change to do this.

Rule 7
Keep it legal, and avoid posting illegal content or soliciting or facilitating illegal or prohibited transactions.

Use the Services to violate applicable law or infringe any person’s or entity's intellectual property rights or any other proprietary rights.
I wasn't saying that Reddit was deficient in its moderating of their communities, I was using Reddit as a concrete example of how I think we should find a balance between not giving platforms - in general - any protections at all about content from their users (which could very well kill most of them off) and giving them protection even if they allow things that are likely to cause great social harm. I imagine Reddit would do fine under a new Section 230 regimen where platforms would be required to show that they have enough moderation to filter out legally defined areas of restrictions to qualify for 230 protection. They may very well meet the criteria without making any changes, but outfits like Parlor (as it used to be anyway) might not qualify for protection.
