> It would be like having a proxy for nytimes or cnn
It's a much grayer area, considering NYTimes owns their content and x does not own the content they serve. I think this question deserves zealous representation.

Do they not? And if they wanted to, couldn't they, pretty trivially, with a ToC change?
They don't. Maybe they could get away with the ToC change but probably not without backlash. It is not relevant to the legal situation right now.

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. If they say “you’re giving us your copyright when you press the POST button” then that would seem to be that.
Seems like a bad place for them to be, given the whole argument of “you can’t sue us for what other people said on our platform, that’s not our speech!” but that seems complicated and IANAL.

Fyi this is illegal at least in the EU.
