Tweets do have recipients, which makes them different from a web page.
At the next level up from the one you describe it is very much a protocol.
Users get to decide whose tweets they follow and don't. And senders can block receivers if they want to. Twitter may have a very small something to say about that (spam, community standards) but for the most that's a free choice on the part of both the sender and the receiver.
