there any way to challenge the presumed immunity of a particular

Internet Brand's role in Wikitravel has penetrated whatever imaginary
barrier must exist since they are now firmly in control of all content
rules, site policies and every other aspect of project management.
Even if they have lost safe harbor protections, is there anything illegal
about the content? What do they need Section 230 protection from?
Maybe not if you're referring to a current snapshot of the project,
but of course that may not always be the case. Even the failure to
effectively address vandalism seems like it could put the organization
at risk, if they've lost the protection afforded to service providers.
