If you mean by removing section 230, then wouldn't that just make everything much worse? When reading up about it, it seems like websites like twitter would have to either completely remove all types of moderation or get strict enough moderation that user comments would be unfeasible to allow. I don't see how that would accomplish anything but remove the social media sector from USA. Although I have yet to hear anyone's theory on what it could be replaced with.

> If you mean by removing section 230 No, I think the next Trump will do what Putin did with VKontakte and will take the company directly from the owners' hands (there are numerous ways to do that even in a Western democracy, the hostile takeover has practically been invented in the US). Of course he (most probably will be a "he") won't do that directly, one of his business friends will help. Things like "removing section 230" are just syntactic sugar that keep us programmers/geeks busy by barking at the wrong tree.
