You’ve mentioned Section 2339a multiple times in various threads. I think you may fundamentally misunderstand the necessary elements of the charge.
Specifically I would point you to a legal analysis of this particular section [1] which includes the following;
> Under the provisions of 18 U.S.C. 2, anyone who counsels, procures, aids, or abets a violation of Section 2339A or any other federal crime is punishable as though he had committed the offense himself. It is understood that “[i]n order to aid and abet another to commit a crime it is necessary that a defendant in some sort associate himself with the venture, that he participate in it as in something that he wishes to bring about, [and] that he seek by his action to make it succeed.”
As I believe is made clear in this analysis, providing hosting services to a social network that includes discussions about storming the capital in no way implicates either the hosting provider or the social network under 18 USC 2339A.
