If you could taste your thoughts, would it remind you of tarzan or football?

Could Mikesez think of a rock so big he couldn't google it?

Here is what JIB said, 

"The bottom line is, once any platform (not just Twitter) decides to edit or otherwise alter a post they in fact become a publisher not a "hosting platform", especially if it is not applied to all users.  It doesn't matter if the edit/altering is a "fact check" link and it doesn't matter what their source(s) is/are for their "fact check".  When they do such a thing they are editorializing and in fact a publisher."

Why is JIB insisting on a difference between the two? Why does it matter? Because platforms enjoy protection from lawsuits under a specific part of the US Code, and publishers do not.  JIB is saying that Twitter should be liable to certain types of lawsuits that they are currently immune from.  If you read any quality journalism on Trump v Twitter you would know this.  But if you didn't know it, you would find my post bizarre and off-topic.  
Unfortunately, people just react on this board - if they don't understand, they don't try to figure out if there's something they need to learn.  They just mock.
