*--> "Without 230, they're [smaller tech sites like Gab, Bitchute, Parler] toast! Again, they'd sell out, they'd die, or they'd be litigated against constantly and eventually call it quits. 230 protects those smaller sites. The smaller sites are the ones actually conforming to the law. Take 230 protection away from groups that persist in editorializing content for political and social reasons unrelated to US law! It's as simple as that. Just refine 230. You don't need to get rid of it. In fact, you should expand it. 230 is a good idea in sum and substance.

*--> Net neutrality! While it's pointless for ISPs, [it would] be a great idea to have something akin to it for the social media giants. Be neutral. If you're a platform, act like a platform. If you want to be a publisher, then you can be sued for the material that you are publishing. Make it clear which one you want. You'll have two internets. You have the platform side that will have every bit of edgy content. And then you'll have the publisher's side that'll be very mainstream. It'll be basically a news aggregator, with the NY Times, CNN, and stuff. Corporations! That's what we're headed toward, a schismatic, two-fold internet, assuming we can keep 230 intact. Get rid of that and we have only one internet and it'll be very, very bland. I certainly wouldn't be on it. [...] Just the way that it is."

Yup. Without 230 YouTube will look like WaPo, nothing but "safe" curated content.
