There is an interesting question here why major platforms have such a hard time stopping violent groups of people from joining together and committing violent acts. Our current, corporately-decided approach to online moderation is clearly not up to the task. It does make you wonder if government intervention would be more effective.

Even regulations on this would be difficult because you're not just fighting against the sheer volume of posts constantly needing to be checked, but also against privacy concerns, since "this corporation is constantly watching everything you post" is both a mandatory requirement and largely seen as bad.
- JohnFen 3y ago> pretty much every US government based system is inferior to it's private sector equivalent. I don't think this holds as a rule. I see as many counterexamples to it as examples, anyway. But it does seem true that there are certain things the private sector tends to do better at, and there are other things the private sector tends to do worse at.
