Section 230 is very important but also kinda terrible. It gives platforms immunity from a lot of lawsuits but it doesn't really require them to function as platforms at all, blurring the lines between platform and publisher.
I do think 230 needs reform but I do agree with what you are saying that the quest to reform 230 is a false face to control it.
