You may be interested in the upcoming Gonzalez v Google now on the Supreme Court docket. The Supreme Court has never taken a Section 230 case and here they are taking one even when there is no split in the circuits. It is likely that the interpretation of 230 by courts is going to change.
Twitter and other Big Tech websites comprised of UGC and pointers to articles on newspaper websites have grown too large to moderate. Section 230 gives them immunity from lawsuits that the TV show does not have. The TV show has producers, actual people who make editorial decisions. Big Tech has people too but they hide their decision-making in "algorithms".
Gonzalez is probably going to change what Big Tech, i.e., mega-sized websites, can get away with under Section 230 immunity.
