Did someone suggest intervention was always good?

That revised standard isn't obviously stupid, just vacuous, in two ways.

One, Facebook is nothing like neutral content infrastructure.

Two, laws come from somewhere. They are rooted in morality, and are always a snapshot of the historic violations bad enough to drive laws.
