The law doesn't change what anyone can argue. It only changes what a court will consider valid. The section on limitations says nothing about about the topic we're discussing, whereas the law was explicitly written to overturn this (since then invalid) belief that "any content moderation creates a burden to moderate all content". Quote:

"The important difference between CompuServe and Prodigy for the Stratton court was that Prodigy engaged in content screening and therefore exercised editorial control. The holding in Stratton was overruled in federal legislation when Congress passed Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act in 1996. As a result, Internet service providers in the United States today are generally protected from liability for user-generated content."

Anything else would obviously be unworkable. Facebook, for example, exerts wide-ranging control over content (i.e. they delete quite a lot). If that were to create liability for all user-generated content on Facebook, they would have seized to exist long ago.
