what it has done instead is foster monopoly

If true, which is debatable, that's an antitrust matter, not a CDA issue.

There are tens if not hundreds of thousands of sites that are protected by Section 230, from sites like this to consumer review sites to instant messaging to video sharing to crowdsourcing to reader comments.. the list of speech platforms made available as a direct result of 230 is endless. If 230 is eviscerated, your so-called monopolies will become exactly that, since only they will be able to afford an army of layers to dispense with all of the frivolous lawsuits that will have to be litigated to achieve dismissal vs.being thrown out on a motion to dismiss. THAT is what Section 230 prevents. The ultimate defense of these lawsuits lies with the 1st Amendment or other statutes, a slower, more costly but ultimately inevitable outcome.

Absent a robust Section 230, tens of thousands of platforms will die a death of a thousand duckbites, and only the majors will remain, entrenched even more as their present competition is killed off and their future competition never get off the ground.
