As a "platform" it is immune from liable due to the content of tweets (only the tweeter can be sued). But as the publisher of fact checks derived on its own volition, it produces its own content and so is more a publisher than merely being a platform--especially so if it selectively limits fact checks to one person or to only a certain kind of politically oriented tweeter.
It may have opened the door to lawsuits that publishers are open to even if the objectionable content is a tweet.

So are you suggesting tweeter is presenting their own version of the Facts .. and now Facts are subjective and changed to support tweeters view? because thats that Alternative fact world where conspiracies are born
