The Section 230 saga just shows how dangerous it is for the government to interfere in industry. The CDA was passed when people were scared of the internet and looked to government to protect them from its evils. Section 230 was added to save "the little guy" from becoming collateral damage of this legislation. Fast forward 30 years and these "little guys" have grown into the scary forces that everyone wants the government to protect them from! Imagine if ordinary people had been allowed to sue Google and Facebook over this time. There's good reason to think that no one would have been able to monetize the internet in such a way as Google, Facebook, etc. if not for Section 230. I don't think anyone in Congress is interested in repealing Section 230 but I'm glad people in Washington are at least talking about it.
