I don't think they need to repeal 230. I think someone needs to sue and claim that they've given up their immunity because they're now acting like a publisher.
I can see your point, but rather than have someone spend the money and years of court I would like to see the government do its jobs and just remove protections from platforms that have already violated the rule
The way 230 is written, social media platforms are not liable for any content regardless of whether they exercise editorial control or not - so suing them would end with a dismissal as 230 is a legislated shield from liability. That's why it needs to be repealed and replaced.
