Yes, tho I think we're falling into that trap as well when we say things
like "what their users say and do": while the messages technically
(presumably) originate from other users, it's the companies which choose
which messages they send: with such a vast number of users (and hence
messages) to choose from, they can literally say anything they want
while hiding behind section 230 for protection.
