Their proposed solution (as I understood it) is to reform Section 230 to make platforms liable for illegal content that gets promoted/amplified -- and that doing this would make the algorithmic news feed too much of a legal liability.
I get that the desired result is that Facebook reigns in its algorithmic ranking, but the actual result will probably be lengthy debates over what constitutes illegal posts, small fines that Facebook can afford to pay, and algorithmic censorship with a disgusting number of false positives.
Would love to be corrected if I read that proposed change incorrectly.
