When I actively hosted USENET servers, I was repeatedly warned by in-house and external counsel, not to moderate which groups I hosted based on content, less I become responsible for moderating all groups, shouldn’t that same principal apply to platforms like AWS and Twitter?
If this was in the US and it was after the CDA was passed in 1996, your lawyers were just wrong. Before that the case law was thin but Cubby vs Compuserve (which is more persuasive than Stratton Oakmont since it's a federal case) said that online services were like bookstores, not expected to know what was on every page unless it'd had been brought to their attention or they had some other reason they should have known.
