If they're violating the rules they should be sued.

Section 230 prevents them from being liable. You can sue but it won't work.

I'm just against having the federal government confiscate the investor's property.

Did the government confiscate Ma Bell? Nope. This isn't about confiscation. This is about clarifying that big tech is breaking the rules and Congress making those rules clearer and enforcable. Fines should be in order.

Did you even watch Project Veritas' video? Big Tech sneers about being asked for documents and they refuse to comply. Apparently they believe they are above law and governing rules.

Again, I'm fine with this.

If they're shown in court to be violating the law they should be held accountable.

Essentially, yes.

They granted AT&T monopoly rights and in exchange regulated every aspect of their business, including how much they could charge and who they had to serve.

When the government claims those powers over your business what do you have left?
