Would you consider "this is dangerous" or "this is misinformation" to be editorializing? What about "adding context"[1], as Jack Dorsey has promised to do at twitter?
Given that all are judgement calls, I'd say it's impossible for it to not be. There's a difference between merely removing something and giving your opinion on the contents.

- tzs 6y agoIf they give their opinion on the content, they would be liable for that, because (1) it is not information provided by another information content provider, and so is out of scope for section 230, and (2) even if it were in scope they would be liable as the author--230 essentially says "go after the author, not the host" and in this case they would be sued as the author, not as the host.
