If I'm not mistaken, this is a matter of existing case law, so our agreement or disagreement doesn't really matter.
Thanks for the clarification, but I don't find it convincing.
I disagree with the underlying premise that we should clump social media into (only) two categories (platforms and publishers) where if you exercise any editorial control you are immediately categorized as "publisher" (category that is appropriate for an entity that explicitly and deliberately chooses everything it publishes) and where only "platforms" are protected from lawsuit about their users' content.
