That's certainly an interpretation of things, but it runs afoul of an issue where you'd force the Supreme Court to legislate acceptable types of content suggestion.
Is a forum showing you the most upvoted (reddit's /top) or the most recently commented (phpBB), or some combination (HN and reddit's /hot) and saying "you may like {{most popular thing}}" the site's speech or the user's? Is it only the site's speech if the recommendation is personalized? Or if the recommendation is a single item, and not a list?
The court's 230 interpretation today[*] seems to be that suggesting or promoting user-content isn't itself site content, which is fairly in-line with the original intent of the law (that showing, and even ordering user-content isn't site-content).
[*]: Which as others mentioned, is totally independent of this ruling.
