Maybe that's the whole idea. I mean, think about it, you know how killing Section 230 would kill online freedom, right? Someone probably thought, 'Why kill Section 230 when we can go a step further and consolidate general-purpose computing to the cloud, and then have a centralized kill switch we can flip by intentionally blacking out web access for the entire country, leaving everyone ultimately helpless and under our grip?'
