I agree there needs to be some reform of Section 230 in that direction. The law simply can't handle what the internet and social media have become.
When a platform is curating and recommending content to users, it should be treated more like a publisher and be held responsible for the content it promotes. It doesn't matter if the curation is done by hand or with algorithms.
Providers that simply allow the hosting and basic browsing of content should be protected as long as they are willing to remove illegal content when it is found.
Also, I wouldn't call it censorship at all. If a newspaper publishes an article they claim some responsibility for its content. The same should apply if Facebook highlights an article or YouTube recommends a video.
