This ignore situation were kids didn't have social media and abusers post it there. Like sexual assaults and exploitation of childrens.

Not having a moderated platform with the ability to be private is something the platform should be held responsible for.

Imagine you have a studium full of fans waiting for the match to start, then someone comes in with a big screen playing a sexual abuse video then leave the stadium. It is normal to sue the stadium for lack of security along with suing the abuser.

Issues like bullying is harder but when the social network doesn't remove abuse content they are at fault.

Facebook remove staff and systematically ignore report of these kinds because it would affect their value.

Finall note the us government is useless and they do this for show to look cool in front of their voters. EU done more to these corporations.
