Ha! I'm not insecure enough to fall for that, especially after that stumble.
Appeal to popularity is the last refuge of the ignorant populist.

Facebook, Xitter, Instagram, and the rest make money from the content their users provide, by selling advertising along with (or displacing) content the users want. If the tech companies shut down the ability for users to provide content, they also shut down their own ability to sell advertising alongside that user-provided content.
Right now, the tech companies' incentives are on the side of letting all the content in; more content, more advertising revenue (at least until advertisers are turned off by their ads being next to sufficiently objectionable content). Changing section 230 could change that balance, and tech companies might respond to that changed balance by setting up trained artificial neural network to detect objectionable content.
My concern is that requiring "Big Tech companies to work with Congress for 18 months to "evaluate and enact a new legal framework that will allow for free speech and innovation while also encouraging these companies to be good stewards of their platforms."" is really just giving tech companies 18 months to lobby those in congress to make sure that nothing is implemented that could in any way reduce their profit.
