Actually section 230 protected the opposite. The origin of the law is two ISPs running message boards, one attempted to moderate, the other didn't bother. The company that attempted to moderate lost a lawsuit because they weren't perfect, while the latter won. The republicans complaints about section 230 is that their attempts to blatantly lie and spread conspiracy theories are rightfully moderated.
