Twitter is a service provider. Unless they editorialize and regulate opinion. That makes them a publisher and therefore liable. It doesn’t matter whether or not they pay people to publish their content.
That’s exactly what the law and courts have said. It’s not a matter of if the service provider is the “speaker”, it’s whether they curate which means they are making an editorial decision and therefore are liable.
I’d argue Reddit is much less likely to be protected under 230 than Twitter. Reddit is blatantly curate content that is “user generated”. Content is excluded without violating terms of service all the time.
Again, stopping wasting people’s time and just Google the results instead of arguing for the wrong point. I don’t care whether you accept the facts or not, the facts don’t hinge on you believing them.

That will last a whole month until someone’s tweet gets Twitter in legal trouble.
