To answer your question, action by the US Legislature, signed by the President.
There's no need to repeal it.
Remove FB and twitter from being classified as common carriers and change them to publishers. They'll either change or fall over. Either way, rest of the industry will fall in line.
230 was designed to bring the forerunners of big tech into line with the telephone companies. The telco's are not legally responsible if someone plans a murder or other crime using the phone.
Newspapers, etc. are publishers. If they call Biden a pedo...wait, bad example.... If they make false statements about someone and cause harm, they are liable for damages.
Big Tech is hiding behind the telephone system standards, while behaving more like the editorial page gatekeeper of a newspaper. They claim it is to avoid publishing slanderous content, but under 230, they are exempt from this.
They should be reclassified as a publisher and lose 230 protection. Then, they'll be open to lawsuits by anyone after this. This leaves 230 protection in place for anyone who doesn't want to be an jerk.
