While I don't disagree with the decision, I do think big tech companies are getting to have their cake and eat it too. They can simultaneously decline to host content, while also not being responsible for the content they do host.

At the very least, I would like them to be responsible for content that was reported by users, reviewed by the company's employees/contractors, and then allowed to stay up.
