Section 240 protects you from users posts, but not necessarily from promoting them above others algorithmically. You could find them liable for their prioritization choices on the timeline over one that just displays things chronologically. It’s been down time and time again that the display is not a chronological one to increase engagement. That is an editorial decision that should be liable for.

Do you own a smartphone?

Because your laptop cannot have Netflix, or a DRM enabled browser?

You mean like CNET?

Or it's equipment obtained via a third party (the same way the scape sanctions)....

You are missing the point. Open source hardware is about the design and drivers for the hardware being open. This means that when you buy a component you get full specs and the source code to make it run. That way you are not ruining windows 3.1 in 2024 because the company that created your train software does not update it and you can't legally replace it (this is true right now).
