By "fact checking" (even more so if they don't fact check everybody), Twitter may have threatened its status as a platform which is not responsible for the content of the tweets, and now become more like a publisher by inserting its own content when it fact checks.

As a "platform" it is immune from liable due to the content of tweets (only the tweeter can be sued). But as the publisher of fact checks derived on its own volition, it produces its own content and so is more a publisher than merely being a platform--especially so if it selectively limits fact checks to one person or to only a certain kind of politically oriented tweeter.

It may have opened the door to lawsuits that publishers are open to even if the objectionable content is a tweet.
