> Again there is no distinction between "platform" and "publisher".
Not quite right. Section 230 says that online services are not considered publishers when they provide services that allow other people to publish information online (ie, when they act like a platform, though the law doesn't use this term).
However, they are considered publishers of content they create themselves.
Thus the distinction between publisher and platform is who creates the content.
No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.
