There are several angles. Democrat, Republican, and Facebook.
Democrats want section 230 gone because it allows them to hold social media liable for disinformation.
Republicans want to amend section 230 to protect misinformation that they post.
Facebook doesn't want anything to change, but because Democrats policy would be more costly for Facebook and Democrats control the government, Facebook is for "strengthening" (keeping) section 230. Until Republicans are in charge, then Facebook will be against changing it again. Facebook just needs to placate all the Republicans and trick (buy) a few democrats to protect the status quo.
