    spez apparently did write/alter/interact with the content himself or had a script do it or something. I guess he redirected negative comments aimed at him to the mods of TheDonald. In other words, the reddit CEO did become the publisher/speaker of that particular content and therefore threw away the protection of 230 for only that particular content.

The key point here is that this is the one time HE GOT CAUGHT and now there are a lot of people wondering if the admins have done this in the past? Has any admin, say during the whole Pao garbage edited comments?

This action created uncertainty, and I know a few lawyers that make a great living off exploiting uncertainty.
