Say YT censors after publication, NYT censors before. If you're liable either way, then the first model is just not possible.

  Well that brings me back to my first point that on the face of it, the business model seems perfectly reasonable. I brought up Tom Cotton specifically because in that case the NYT moderated after publication like YT, but in any case I don't see why when the moderation is applied should determine liability or lack thereof.

    In the real world, when something happens is very important. Applying moderation before publication is active moderation, so everything that appears is approved by the "publisher." Applying moderation after publication is reactive moderation, so things the publisher disagrees with could get published. It's like the difference between shooting someone to death and shooting a corpse.
