The problem with editorializing is that this would remove Twitter's liability protection as a platform. When Twitter starts editorializing, they're taking the stance of a publisher, and they become liable for everything they didn't editorialize.
The protection afforded to them right now, as a platform, means they (Twitter) cannot be sued for defamation (as an example) when they fail to moderate claiming (as an example) that Hillary Clinton is a pedophile. Editorializing would remove this protection.
