Do you think publishers aren’t allowed to comment on the validity of what they are publishing?

  I am not a lawyer. I just read the draft. Publishers are absolutely allowed to comment on the validity of the content they've published - why are you asking? Twitter is benefiting from the fact they're classed as a _platform_. Platform != Publisher. It's up to the courts to decide whether annotating content in the way Twitter has is editorial. Twitter opened a can of worms here.

    Ok so to clarify the same question: If/When Twitter is classified as a publisher do you believe they will be able to comment on the validity of things they publish? Like, for instance, a newspaper would?

      Of course: they'd be a publisher in that case. However, I don't think they would last long as a company without platform protections.
