section 230
The world is not just the US, the internet is also not just the US, and Section 230 is not the only piece of legislation that deals with these sorts of matters, nor necessarily the best one

re: section 230
Relatedly: "well we're too busy dealing with the problem to not hyperbolize the issue" doesn't really fly as an argument, because somehow outside of the US we *never* get that leeway, nor solidarity from the US for our issues here
Instead, people either assume that we must be talking about the US and immediately detach when we clarify that we're not, or straight-up get angry about not stating so upfront
Somehow we're all expected to care about US issues, but when shit goes down here (see eg. chat control), all solidarity in the other direction immediately evaporates
This fucking sucks and US folks need to do better
