Under Section 230, online platforms cannot be held responsible for hosted content unless “it assisted in the development of what made the content unlawful... ruling that eBay “must own or possess an item” to be considered a seller

Sounds reasonable to me. Also, if the DOJ had prevailed, I feel that would open a Pandora's Box.

So I can buy drugs online, free and clear?
