    In America:

    Section 230 of the Communications Act provides immunity for online platforms and users, stating they generally aren’t liable for content posted by others, allowing them to host third-party information without being treated as the “publisher or speaker”.

    I’m guessing Europe has a similar provision.

      Thanks! That makes sense. Although it’s not really others if you ask me, its themselves. I’m sure they would argue otherwise. No accountability and it’s only getting worse.
