Whatever was required of the new york times and nothing more.

If the NYT publishes and advert or editorial, it's held accountable for the contents.

Touché!

The question is: Are social media services more similar to communications platforms or publishing platforms?

My reply obviously treats them like the former and yours like the latter.

		Posts made are like the letters page in my view, but even if you don't believe that should be controlled, when it comes to the adverts these publish surely it has to be the latter. Personally I argue they are more like a newspaper as they are providing a platform. Your ISP is more like a phone company or postal service as they just transport packets from one person to another. Cloudflare and similar are more arguable, but to my mind if you host a computer you are responsible for the contents stored on that computer.
