Sure would.  The site would have to make it clear that it filters nothing, even illegal material, then rely on 230 for protection from liability for its content.

 

As it is, the big sites to filter, and consequently I would argue even if they have legal immunity from liability, they carry a defacto endorsement of any material they left on their site.  Now Face Book and Twitter functionally endorse everything on there.
