@geofft had an interesting point on the "allegedly free speech" crowd confusing their belief with the "all ideologies must be equal" that I can appreciate:
"[To be pro-repeal Section 230 and "allegedly Free Speech" activist] you'd have to take the anti-free-speech view that ruinous penalties for libel are good, [...]"

"[...] and then carve out an anti-free-speech exception that says that if you choose not to exercise your right to say what you want or associate with who you want, libel laws don't apply to you. And then, somehow, the two anti-free-speech approaches cancel out and turn into a free speech view - platforms are obligated to be non-ideologically-biased (in a sense defined by the government) for fear of arbitrary civil penalties."
