Ethan Zuckerman tried to use Section 230 tech shield to force Meta to allow him to develop a tool that would wipe a Facebook user's feed clean.

He was inspired by a 2021 project called " Unfollow Everything " that would have allowed people to use Facebook without the News Feed .

Facebook sued the UK man who created that extension and permanently disabled his account.
