> I understand that there’s anger from some corners that this happened in the first place, but this is the nature of society. Somethings break the law, and we treat them accordingly.

This is classic straw man stuff. No one is pretending we live in a perfect world in which these companies can hit a button and prevent all crime. The question is just what is the bare minimum of work they should do to prevent abuse. Everyone agrees with this at some level. We don't want Youtube to be filled with CSAM and we all agree that Google has some responsibility in preventing that. Once again, the question is just where the line exists.
