We know the trick. This does not stop big tech, it helps them kill their competition, because alt-tech cannot survive in an envrionment where they can be sued for 3rd party content. BigTech is the only ones that can deal with the legalities of posting 3rd party content.

They're never going to stop trying to kill the internet.

They can make it go this way using additional copyright censorship, but simply repealing 230 would still allow common carrier policy that creates things like 4chan - no website-admins can regulate legal content or moderate in any way, including through private communications with user-moderators.

And gig publishers like twitter would have to give up their controls or be responsible for all published content.

Alt-tech would be gummed up with useless spam if they could not moderate their content. There's a good reason that people like google mail... it has very good AI and spam removal. Only big tech would be able to moderate (using AI and a minimal amount of man power). Their product would be superior (but also highly censored and controlled).

Third party user-controlled moderation tools would close the gap. Users would be able to block content, ideology, mood, etc.

There's no problems with users controlling their own experience. Anti-spam tools would be the first add-on created.
