If you choke off user-generated content, the remaining content will be directly produced by Disney and other media conglomerates. That's not better, that's worse.
The only people able to blog, for instance, would be people who have the technical chops to completely self-host. Everyone else would be reduced to handing out flyers on the corner like the bad old days.
The behemoth old-media companies would be fine, because they can afford lawyers to go over everything they publish.
Not only would it not be worth it, repealing section 230 would consolidate behemoth media companies' control, not break it. It would do the absolute opposite of what you want.
