What is the purpose of repealing this act? Make platforms liable and thus enact more restrictions, is that right?

Makes selective political retribution easier.
As you suggest, it's clearly to curtail free speech further; but in a way that their supporters can claim isn't fascist because 'it's the companies doing it not the government'.
We do really need non-USA based social media, stat.
Companies already have the right to curtail space as much as they want. The government wants to force companies to ban left-wing speech.
