"The first step to censorshio, make the platforms responsible for what they publish"

Responsibility for publishing is a long established principle. What the internet platforms have done is insist that they're not publishers, they're just conduits for information like the post; postal services not being responsible for what they transmit is another long established principle.

What's happening now is that the platforms are being called out on that stance.
