Twitter itself presents itself to investors and users as communication network, not a publisher or media company. This is a direct quote from the very first paragraph of their 10K filing:
> Twitter shows every side of the story.
So, I'd say the better analogy isn't a news station or printing press. This is more like if Verizon decided to start censoring your phone calls.
- epistasis 6y agoTwitter places plenty of restrictions on acceptable speech on their platform, regularly bans accounts for bad behavior, and regularly gives timeouts to accounts. Even mere insults are enough to get a week long timeout on Twitter. I don't think I've ever seen Verizon suspend an account because of insults by phone call. Doesn't seem the least bit similar.
