2 potential outcomes, if this makes its way through the courts:

1) the current system continues, but has to avoid deceptive advertising practices such as labeling itself as a "public forum" or message board. Maybe just rewrite the description to something like "approved users network" and that would be enough to get around it. However, this could mean higher penalties for the site if another church-burning incident happened on their watch. Moderation would be increasingly restrictive with zero tolerance for jokes and the legal team pushing for any sign of the slightest danger to be pre-emptively removed. I don't know if the unpaid staff, which is known to miss things for several hours or days at a time, would be up to it, but I also don't know if CBSi would approve of a paid staff especially after its recent mass layoffs. If they had to take a strict publisher model rather than a platform model, they may not consider it worth the trouble and it could unintentionally lead to accelerated board shutdowns.

2) free speech public platform
