    Ok so isn’t the issue at hand whether the sites are to blame?

    let’s break this down so I can answer you in what I think is an honest way:

    1. Are the sites legally responsible for the content they host, generally speaking and/or in this contact of radicalization and such subsequent results as these?

    and

    1. Do these sites bear any social/moral responsibility to moderate their more extreme content in good faith to try to prevent this sort of result?

    and

    1. Is there an overlap of 1 and 2?

    1 is for a court to decide
