So that pretty much confirms that Twitter is no longer a platform they are a media outlet considered press.  Therefor they should have no government protection regarding liability.

I do think section 230 should be looked at anew.
If I'm just the village idiot on a message board for the least popular professional football team in the world, No one cares.
But if my ramblings reach more than 10,000 people in under a minute, The platform that allowed that to happen, that facilitated that connection, should be at least somewhat liable for what I say. No person should be able to directly reach that many people without some decision makers in between. In fact, before the internet, no one was able to do anything like that on any consistent basis.
