Social media companies have a responsibility to moderate their platforms and remove illegal content. The onus is very much on them to do this, but if they don’t, then what should happen? A forced outage is a big step but they have to take their responsibilities seriously.

Are riots in the UK enough?
Storming of congress?
Countries invading other countries?
Fines or the threat of fines I don’t think bothers Musk very much.
