> should a publisher be allowed to run a platform that they are unable to curate?

That one is tricky.

My take on it is if they do content dependent advertisement, user behaviour based recommendations and similar then no. They should not.

If they don't have this I'm not sure.

If are based on content which isn't widely publicly available but mostly 1-to-1 or 1-to-n (with a smallish n), then I would argue they should _not be allowed to curate content_. I mean how absurd would it be if Google would delete a file which is not public visible from Drive because it seems inappropriate (yes, sarcasm). What's next they delete files from your android phone or computer when they are deemed inappropriate?!
