A simple first step to me would be to update the DMCA so that platforms using engagement-maximizing algorithms lose their section 230 protections.

If you're targeting individuals with specific content algorithmically, you're hardly a dumb platform for user-generated content, and I would argue that it's well over the line that would classify you as a publisher.
