> "...riled up by social media" By social media? Mobs have riled up for centuries, long before social media. We wouldn't blame the phone company for increased vulgar language, would we? Messages about the church incident would have spread regardless of any video. Videos are watched, copied, screen-grabbed, shared in seconds cross-platform. Why walk against the flowing river? Whack-a-mole content takedowns across the whole internet is a waste of time. The Sydney riots footage exposed the worst offenders attacking cops and cars. That was a few idiots out of many. Same for other unrest you alluded to, it would be a few dickheads. And since the Bishop said "don't retaliate", it did have effect, it hasn't blown up. His words were not a useless gesture. Cops made arrests and wider community is in agreement about the criminality of those riots. Social media helped find the offenders. Censorship played no part. A positive option is improving platform features like contextual notes & content warnings, controls for users to fine-tune their social media equalizer sliders. Crowd-sourced community responsibility, trusting the process of shared community information, is a value I will not give up because bratty politicians don't like mean things said about them on X.
