Ok, this is fine, but that means we have to classify Twitter as
press
, with all of the responsibilities as a publisher that this entails.

There is no such thing as a "press" classification in the US with respect to the first amendment. The press has the same rights as everyone else.

Right, but there is an exception for carriers such as Twitter from being treated as publishers, responsible for the material they distribute and monetize from their website.
They aren’t treated like
press
, but they need to be.
