Publisher vs Platform

I read the news today
Oh boy
--The Beatles

As noted here, Twitter claims that it is not a publisher...it is a 'platform' company. It merely provides a platform for the work of others.

Twitter claims to be a platform and not a content company. What they did to @Outkick tonight proves how much of a lie that often is. They are a content company. Go read this. It’s important. https://t.co/fZ99g31Rbq

This is a bogus claim.

Twitter makes editorial decisions when it picks and chooses among content that is posted on its site in order to convey or suppress a point of view.

It is plainly a publisher.
