There is. But it's not followed: If you exert editorial control over the
content, you are a publisher and not protected under Section 230.

Yes, there should. Perhaps that's why Zuck was meeting with Trump.
Places like YouTube and Facebook should have their protection stripped because
they exerted editorial control, which leaves them open to many, many, many
lawsuits.
