With all the news of CCP involvement and embedded agents across the world its about time we gave an actual advantage to 100% American owned tech companies. This could protect sites like Parler and rumble but cause issue for YouTube and twitter as it seems clear their rules are against American values.

I don't think you understand Section 230.
What am I missing... Its stops them from been sued for posted content as they are not a publisher... Why give this protection to companies who ban, delete, shadowban, restrict flow of Bidens Laptop story and wont allow videos that say election was fraudulent. If 230 is removed then Parler and Gab and even DotWin would be impacted.
Section 230 was a rework of the telecommunications protection that came from utilities. Essentially, it says you cant be held responsible for the electrical, gas, or water sent down your lines that is used for crime. It actually protects us from being checked before providing power, etc. For modern telecommunications, we feed to them and its sorted. The protection no longer really should apply because they already have 100% control of what they distribute. It's no longer the same issue. The whole 230 had to go.
If we give small independent tech companies 230 protection and not large tech companies owned by Saudi Arabia then these small companies will be able to compete and would end up being better platforms. YouTube, twitter Facebook can't wait for 230 to go because then they just delete everyone right of Stalin. New independent companies need protection in order to grow and compete
Marsha Blackburn was talking about that. I still think the best answer is to wipe the whole thing and force companies to monitor their own product responsibly. That gives maximum transparency in that you know their motives, and prevents companies from getting so large that the can cherry pick while saying they can't be responsible for anything else. Much more fair and level playing field than the "rules for some" argument.
