> Twitter can control what it "prints", but is not responsible.

I agree that this is a problem that I wish was addressed, but honestly, I dont know what kind of overreaching, anti-freedom (/s kind of?) law would need to be passed. The reason it worked for news papers was they were printing news, and news has to be true (or at least not outright lies).

Twitter, Facebook, *chan, parlor, Truth social (is that actually a thing yet?) would all just say they dont print the news, and that every post is opinion.

Which even the NYT opinion pieces don't fall under the same editorial scrutiny as their news, and legally are completely separate.
