Dumbfuck, data transport is done by ISP's. And storage has nothing to do with it. That reflects how crazy you are.
As far as your claim of some sort of "short haul," there is no thing. People either upload data to Twitter, which is "carried" from their device to Twitter by an ISP; or people download data from Twitter which is "carried" from Twitter to their device by an ISP.
The ISP is the transport layer. ISP's charge a fee for that service. That's why ISP's are common carriers while private Internet businesses are not.
Wrong.
The Transport Layer of the internet is called "Packet Switching", and each machine in the network builds and routes packets.
That is what Twitter does.
It builds and routes internet protocol packets.
It does nothing to the content.
The difference between what Twitter does and the government servers along the network backbone of the internet, is that Twitter also stores them.
The ISPs do not build internet protocol packets.
The end terminators do that, which makes them part of the Transport Layer.
Private internet businesses create content, while Twitter does not.
And private internet businesses are regulated against discrimination of arbitrary denial of services, due to the Terms of Service agreements that ISPs require them to accept.
And the ISPs have to do that because they are regulated by FCC and FTC rules.
