Most platforms prior to the mid 2000's had a ToS that only restricted pornography and illegal content. The idea that platforms should all be have massive ToS's and acceptable content policies is a pretty recent invention that only came about in the last few years.

The internet is now merging with real life and all the negative parts of it are the ones spreading like wildfire. This creates a responsibility issue where now that websites can host more content and connect with the real world in more ways, they need to cover their own backs.
