China is the leader here, let's briefly study how they do social media -- this will show where US is going.

They review everything after an account gets so many likes. The platform is responsible. One day I was doing something dangerous on a live stream -- immediately banned for 48 hours and got a human message. Posts with factual errors about current events -- immediately removed, on pain of platform liability. Human reply. No AI.

The platform is liable for what is published on the platform in the same way a newspaper is liable for what is published in the newspaper.

The liability is changing and so yes Twitter is going to police people.

I welcome this change in liability.
