>It's really weird that people think it's the responsibility of these platforms to police their users

Is that the situation here tho?

Were the platforms just going to let anything go and someone made them do it?

I don't buy into that idea here.

I doubt any of the platforms are happy to host it either.




??? What idea aren't you buying into? That platforms can't feasibly police their users and that its unreasonable for us to expect them to? Yes, they can get the worst of the worst. They can comply with court orders. But expecting them to censor everything people think is objectionable is not reasonable. Do you want facebook to be the arbiter of what you can and can't say? Because that seems to be what you're asking for. As much as you think what to censor is "obvious", it is very much not obvious.
