Of course normal usage doesn't matter. But do you have a legal definition of the word "platform"? If you don't have a legal definition, you're just spewing words. There is a legal distinction between a "computer system" that includes any normal usage of platform and a publisher. That's what the actual law says. Section 230 is surprisingly legible if you haven't read it yet. Do you remember 1996? There were a lot of systems then that would absolutely qualify as social media today, even if the term wasn't used then. Those things are what section 230 addresses. You seem to be making some sort of pedantic strawman argument and I can't tell what you're really trying to convey. Instead of phrasing it as a negative, is there something you're trying to positively affirm?
