Give me an example of such a headline. Note that a tweet, any tweet, is not twitters editorial content. So you're looking for something like the trending topics headlines (which Twitter doesn't have 230 protection regarding!)
Because, and this is really important: legally speaking, Twitter doesn't exercise editorial control over tweets.
Moderation isn't editorial control under the law.

Twitter did? I sure didn't. Who are you talking about?

This is not the dunk you think it is. In a world without section 230, Twitter would be required to leave this content up short of a court order.
