A publisher is a company that controls what information is produced using its publication. A platform is a vehicle, generally on the Internet, which can be used by the general public and on which information is not filtered or controlled.
YouTube is infamous for being a publisher parading as a platform. It claims to only censor bigotry, nudity/sexuality, violent content, etc.,[1] but it also censors conservatives and others who do not conform to political correctness.[2][3]
The debate over the differences between a publisher and a platform has reached the forefront of political conversation[4][5] amid Prager University's lawsuit against YouTube,[6] and the "Adpocalypse" instigated by now-former Vox Media "journalist" wannabe Carlos Maza against comedian Steven Crowder.[7]
In addition to YouTube, other Big Tech companies are publishers which masquerade as platforms, including Facebook,[8] Instagram,[9] and Twitter.[10]
