A lot of people talk about a requirement to explain why someone was given a particular recommendation. Okay, so Google, Facebook, et. al. provide a mechanism that supplies you with a CSV of tens of thousands of entries describing the weights used to give you a particular recommendation. What problem does that solve?
Conservatives often want to amend section 230 to limit companies' ability to down-weight and remove conservative content. This directly runs afoul the First Amendment; the government can't use the threat of liability to coerce companies into hosting speech they don't want to. Not to mention, the companies could just attribute the removal or down-ranking to other factors like inflammatory speech or negative user engagement.
