are you advocating for the government to actively pick winners and losers here?
They defend monopolies and ignore collusion to keep competing entities from the market.
You keep bringing up possible “negatives”, but those “negatives” are already occurring.
“It could be worse”
I would rather remove their protections and force it to come to a head, because the “worse” you are referencing will most likely come whether they lose immunity or not.
Hell, Facebook is currently asking their users to “report anyone who may have extremist views” so that they, as a company can intervene and help that person.
Dude, we are so beyond the level of “what the frick” at this point that something drastic needs to be done.
These monopolistic entities wield an ungodly amount of power, and it is just getting worse.
If the small ones suffer to bring down the giants, it is a sacrifice I will happily make every day of the week.

so we want more? what logic is this?
"because the government already abuses their powers, you should be ok with them doing it more"

I'm an advocate for the free exchange of ideas and I despise censorship. I've always held these ideas.
I'll never advocate for something that will limit that further. Removing Section 230 protections would absolutely kill the free exchange of ideas all across the internet.
Y'all are just ignoring the root causes of these issues, and instead addressing those, you won't to pick on the low hanging fruit.

Does anyone actually believe Twitter and Facebook are private companies? They're arms of our massive intelligence apparatus. Snowden and Assange have shown that beyond dispute. Social media exists as an end-run around the 1st and 4th Amendments. Collusion between big tech and big government is a hallmark of a fascist state, and yet those on the political left, who claimed to resist fascism, are too stupid to realize they're being duped.
