I'm not a lawyer, what are the legal basis for that "immunity" and the fact they lost it somehow?

  For telecomms, this is known as “common carrier” status; it means you are not liable for what goes through you, but to keep that status you must not filter anything either. If you do filter, you’re supposed to lose that status - and then you become liable for what goes through your pipes. I’m not sure there’s a similar legal concept for publishers.
