"A platform is a technological space designed to serve as a host for a wide variety of things, including web sites. A publisher creates content and materials and then publishes those things using both physical and online platforms."
I am suggesting that by soliciting, requesting specific content, then publishing it, Twitter is no longer merely a host for those who wish to "tweet," because it presents its own content, (it owns it regardless of how that content is derived), and therefor becomes responsible for that content just as tweeters are responsible for the content of their tweets no matter how they derive it or who they quote.
More to the point, by doing so, it becomes a publisher, not merely a platform. And clearly even more so when it picks and chooses who or what to fact check rather than fact checking all tweets.
