To be honest, these platforms are whatever one is more convenient for them at the time. Is someone doing something controversial/unpopular on their platform/attacking them? Then they're a 'publisher' with the right to dictate what's allowed. Are they getting sued/complained about for illegal content/not moderating their site? Then suddenly they're a 'platform', who only has to handle issues when forced to. That's the truth about all online services; they change what they class themselves as whenever the alternative is too 'inconvenient' for them.
