Twitter is fact checking Trump, saying that they can have the right to act as a publisher, removing content that they don't approve of and leaving content that they do approve of.
AND
Twitter is not censoring pictures of Kathy Griffin depicting the severed head of the sitting United States President, while also claiming legal protection under Section 230 which gives them no liability for content.
"Why not both?", you might ask.
Because Section 230 creates the distinction between Platform and Publisher. Twitter is trying to have it both ways. Under the current laws, they cannot.
