re: Twitter loses immunity over user-generated content in India

Unless I am misreading this, doesn't this mean India is demanding Twitter do MORE censoring of their users content? We need less of that in this country.

Twitter/social media is either a public square or publisher.

When twitter edits/deletes content arbitrarily, they are no longer a public square. They are a publisher... like the new york times or cnn. This should open twitter (like the NYT or CNN) to liability lawsuits for defamation, libel, etc..

The problem is that social media is enjoying government protection from liability claims without earning it (free speech)
