I'd argue that as soon as they started exercising editorial control over what turns up in their users' feeds (as opposed to the original chronological feeds controlled by users) they became publishers. They're trying to have it both ways.

Yeah, not the same. He'll say otherwise because he writes about 1A topics and SCOTUS has said they're the same. But SCOTUS says a lot of shit, such as an insurrectionist that violated A14S3 can still hold office despite A14S3 saying such a person can't. Fuck all of that. We'll decide, thank you.
