Some people probably are not responsible enough to carry daily no, but it is a constitutional right, so regardless they have the right until they do something stupid enough to lose that right (a felony). So the best course of action in this situation would be education.

Maybe, some of them shouldn't even though they have the right. I don't think we should remove the right, but not everyone need to use it.

No, actually, my only suggestion would be better moderation with improved AI and algorithms, and changing aspects or features of these platforms to make work easier for moderation teams. And of course, much more transparency. All in all, it’s a big ask but more reasonable as it flows with the natural optimization and improvement of automatic features.
Trying to get rid of bad actors online is no different than trying to eliminate all crime. Twitter, FB, Instagram, has more people than any city in the world many times over.
The fact is, unwanted people and content will always exist. As people, in a social and cultural sense, our focus should be to educate people on how to navigate the internet and social media. How to protect ourselves and how to interact with extreme content either illicit or ideological instead of wanting to limit and control everything that goes on.
There are arguments for having the government be more responsible in alleviating moderation duties from these companies on these websites- which I’m not opposed to but I’m not familiar with the pro’s and con’s of it to discuss it.

People will exercise the rights afforded to them by the constitution. If that’s going to be the case we need to try to make sure they do so responsibly.

Taiwan’s real name is “Republic of China” and China’s real name is “People’s Republic of China”. Before the Chinese Communist Revolution they were all part of one nation. Taiwan managed to not go communist and maintains that they are the real China. Communist China maintains Taiwan is part of China and won’t do business with anyone who calls Taiwan “Republic of China” and won’t recognize their sovereignty. It’s sort of (but not really) like North and South Korea.
This is a two minute explanation, the full history and intricacies are far more interesting and subtle.

So you'd say an even harder line than me? As in that the platform benefits from being used and owned by the west or America and so should walk the line everyone else in that situation has to, i.e not supporting Russia and no spreading of ISIS messages?
For me that's a harder line to reach because then you're saying they can't be publicly discussed and I think it's important to do so because if they have any value at all we want to separate the value from their behaviours and if they don't we want to be able to show that in a way that demonstrates confidence.
If I've misunderstood you or if you have another take I'd be happy to hear it though.

They don’t know if these people are actually ISIS members or just ISIS affiliates/supporters. The argument is that people who promote terrorist shit are effectively terrorists themselves. So it doesn’t automatically mean they would be any general or officer on the ground within the organization and not would it matter because the message being spread is all the same…
