IMHO the main issue is kind of orthogonal to Section 230 : It's that some companies have grown too big, and have too much power, which is a direct threat to democracy, especially in smaller countries.
Where it does come around to Section 230 is that the way that they can (ab)use their power is tied to what they do and laws like it : an ISP with several billion customers but under net neutrality and common carrier laws would probably still be less problematic than current Facebook/Twitter/YouTube.
