CBS, and other MSM are publishers. They create or select the content & are responsible for it. Twitter was a common carrier — they carried content without being responsible for it. By censoring content they don't like, Twitter has (IMHO) become a publisher, and could be liable for the content. IMHO,big fat law suits are inevitable.

The problem is current law explicitly gives them protection when they moderate content.

What you're arguing for would prevent Jim from zotting people.

I've yet to hear a principled argument that would keep Twitter or Facebook from limiting certain content but would allow FR to function as it does.

You can make up some arbitrary rule based on number of users, but it's just that, an arbitrary rule, not a principle.
