Publishers or Not

I don't understand the problem here.

The platform allows users to self publish material on THEIR platforms.

They ARE a publisher.

Seems real simple, now time for the lawyers to jump in and start grabbing cash for total BS arguments.

If I wrote an article and sent it into the Telegraph or the Times and they published it, THEY would also carry liability, what's the difference ?
