Section 230 includes obligations for providers. It's a section below the one you quoted. One of those obligations is moderation. If you want change to moderation, amend that, don't buy into the "repeal 230" bs. We know how to amend it. We did it with the harmful and misguided SESTA/FOSTA. But it can be done.

Yes, amending section 230 could be a way to achieve desired results, just as well as flat-out replacing it with another text. Depends on exactly what we want to achieve in the end. I'm not yet sure what I think should be there instead, but I do find the current text goes too far in offering blanket (well, with exceptions for child porn and copyrighted material) protection.
