Not sure that's the best analogy since publishers do have an onus not to publish certain materials (example How would that work out for someone publishing something like the anarchists cookbook?)
Conversely, its not considered feasible for content providers (who don't generate or police the content BEFORE it's public) to police the work of content generators (the users). That's why s.230 of the CDA (imo) does more than the first amendment
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=the+anarchists+cookbook
It's openly sold by the world's biggest bookstore. (And so are the similarly-named books that are actual cookbooks ...)
Oh is it not banned anymore? Then my bad for using that as an example, but publishers do censor the works of their authors to try and avoid liability
