Precisely. The new language states it as "in good faith" and then goes on to describe what that is, as well as what bad faith is. The only way to be considered doing something in good faith would be if the content being removed is illegal, or if it goes against the companies terms of service. Now the kicker is that they cannot put obscene ToS in place, less they want to be marked a publisher. So now they're in a pickle: either go all out and become a publisher and allow the government to take you down, or stay as a platform and allow all discourse to be had on their site. Beautiful, isn't it?
So if they want to stay a platform they have to have an irrefutable reason to remove content and hate speech is not irrefutable.
