That's a surprising reaction. Isn't the conservative position that there is already too much government oversight of private enterprise? That the market will reward or punish the behavior of private corporations and government should just leave them be, and stick to national defense and maintaining civil order?
Maybe I misunderstand, I slept through a lot of classes.
It is not really a call for more regulation. It is a call to remove the immunity that was granted to them by a special government program (CDA). They were given broad immunity from content liability, with the hope that the internet would grow and become a free speech area, not a political tool. They are turning against the principles that spawned their special protection.
CDA 230 could be amended to say something like : "This section applies only if the platform conforms to first amendment principles, and all established first amendment law." I'm not a lawyer - probably a better way of putting it legally.
If you want to be a platform, great - be a platform. If you want to be a publisher, great - be a publisher. But you can't be both. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
