They won't really have to fight a lawsuit because it would just be thrown out if a company tried to file one.
At worst they'd just get DMCA take down requests.
Lawsuits don't generally just throw themselves out. You have to pay a lawyer to show up and ask the judge to throw out the lawsuit on account of the fact that you don't host the thing, or whatever the reason is.
Judges don't go out and do research; if one side's lawyer says Whirlybird runs The Pirate Bay out of their kitchen and the other side's lawyer isn't there, then the court is going to proceed as though that is at least plausible.
So many laws work like this too, it makes them worthless if personal wealth is required to get them enforced. If Section 230 only exists for the wealthy and corporations, the fediverse isn't gonna get very far
You don't have to pay a lawyer, you can do it yourself.
True. But then you have to physically show up wherever, and know how to do it right.
