Fair enough if Tate broke ToS.

But the difference is that YouTube, FB etc. present themselves as platforms, avoiding the liability of being seen as a publisher.

If they start making value judgements on certain content, then they can't claim they act as a neutral platform, and as such should be held liable for other content.
