I don't think Wikipedia will fail unless and until a better model is implemented. Wikipedia's challenge is to make sure that it's the one implementing that better model.

Neither Wikipedia nor it's predecessor Usenet possess these characteristics in amount that can be considered normal.
"Better model". Heh heh heh.
I know what happens to a site that pretends Section 230 is a magical charm to protect against lawsuits.
If a smart attorney manages to convince a jury that Section 230 doesn't protect
forums, and that Wikipedia is a kind of "forum".....all that attorney needs to do is
call a guy named
Wayne Parham as a witness.
(I'd tell you the story of his battle with
Audio Asylum, but it's long and bizarre,
and it's better if Wayne himself tells it. )
