You can’t limit the extent to which a company moderates content, as the right to moderate is based in the First Amendment.
All you can do is adjust the shield from liability that 230 provides. If you decrease the size of that shield (as the DOJ proposal does), private companies will further restrict user activity (not expand it) until it fits under the shield again. That is true whether you are talking about a full repeal or only an incremental change.
