Before “The framing of the original bill is worth noting against how Section 230 is usually discussed.”
After “Cox and Wyden did not present the bill as a grant of immunity; they presented it as protection for private moderation, and paired it with a bar on FCC content regulation of computer services. The title under which it was finally enacted was an anti-indecency title.”
Why it was flagged
This is an editorial aside directing the reader's interpretation rather than stating a fact. A neutral version would simply describe the bill's stated purpose and let the comparison to later characterizations rest on the sourced text alone, without asserting it is 'worth noting.'
What was done
Removed the editorializing lead-in sentence and kept the sourced factual comparison of the bill's framing to how it was enacted.

Before “is materially different from how the provision is now usually characterized”
After “- The bill's own framing — protecting private moderation, and barring FCC content regulation of computer services — is preserved in its text”
Why it was flagged
This is an unsourced interpretive judgment comparing the bill's original framing to how it is 'now usually characterized' — a claim about public/media discourse that isn't supported by a citation. It reads as analysis/argument rather than documented fact.
What was done
Dropped the unsupported comparison to how the provision is 'now usually characterized' and kept only the sourced description of the bill's own framing.

Before “the statutory basis for nearly every subsequent American argument about platform liability, moderation and speech”
After “- Introduced the bill that became Section 230, a statutory basis frequently cited in American arguments about platform liability, moderation and speech”
Why it was flagged
"Nearly every" is an unsupported superlative/exaggeration. A neutral, verifiable phrasing would describe Section 230 as a foundational or frequently-cited statutory basis without quantifying its prevalence in unsupported absolute terms.
What was done
Replaced the unsupported quantifier 'nearly every' with 'frequently cited', removing the superlative while preserving the substantive claim.

“He appears on this site for one reason: he wrote Section 230.”
Why it was flagged
Stylized, dramatic framing rather than neutral description. A factual alternative would simply state that he is included in this project for co-authoring Section 230.
Why it was dismissed
Low-severity stylistic framing that states a true, sourced fact (his sole basis for inclusion is the Section 230 co-authorship, as documented in the sources and body). Below the fix threshold for low-severity findings; left as editorial voice rather than risk overwriting a scoping sentence for the whole page.

“including the sentence that has governed American platform liability ever since”
Why it was flagged
"Governed... ever since" is a sweeping, dramatic characterization of legal effect. While Section 230's centrality is well documented, this phrasing states it as an absolute rather than citing specific supporting evidence (case law, litigation volume, etc.), tilting toward exaggeration.
Why it was dismissed
Low-severity stylistic phrasing describing a well-documented legal fact (Section 230's continuous governance of platform liability since 1996 is uncontroversial and widely reported). Below the fix threshold; not amplifying an unsupported claim, just describing an established legal reality.
