There's an honest expectation that a chat platform is going to respond to the government at the same level a bank would? Further, I find the government's approach to managing child abuse to be poor governance and a complete mockery of internal legislation. How is a survey from twitter intended to help them honestly combat this problem and prevent children from being victimized? It really looks like a giant "CYA" exercise by the government, and I find it hard to blame X or Google for not taking it particularly seriously.

Why not? Twitter's market cap/revenue is probably larger than that of many banks and certainly more than many hedge funds, which are regulated out the wazoo. Rest of your questions seem disingenuous, if governments didn't consult tech firms about their policies and metrics on this issue people would be complaining about heavy handed regulation based on ignorant assumptions.

> There's an honest expectation that a chat platform is going to respond to the government at the same level a bank would? If I was an investor in X, I would be concerned. Isn't the end goal to be an "everything app", not just a "chat platform"? How is X going to become a payment processor (a key element of "everything apps" like WeChat) if even the kinds of questions a chat platform gets are beyond its capability to answer?
