>If Twitter wants control over what's published on their site, then they give up their rights (their 'free harbor'-alike protections) to not be held responsible for the content they censor and let through.

Where is this in US law? Are you confusing DMCA safe harbor issues with speech?

All platforms take control over content - otherwise they could not remove child porn, PII, etc., and they don't lose DMCA safe harbor exemptions, which only applies to copyrighted items posted by users.



It appears like you are conflating the removal of illegal content with the censorship of legal content. Two very different concepts.


I didn't conflate anything. You claimed Twitter loses "rights" by exercising control over content, and I asked where you got that idea. Where is the law that backs your claim? Do you have one?
