I have watched the Web develop for many years.
My obvious question is why commentards and lawmakers now generally assume those that provide outlets for individual commentary (Google, Meta, Microsoft etc) should be made legally responsible for censoring that free commentary?
Why are the individuals/organisations that make the comments not being held legally responsible for their own comments if they are *unlawful* rather than simply distasteful?
It seems to me that it's much easier for governments to make unaccountable bodies decide how to censor free speech and then blame them for lack of control (or over zealous filtering) rather than potentially having a noose of obvious state-censorship tightening around the neck of the "all-for-freedom of speech, democratic" government.
Control what is illegal by directly enforcing the law of the land, using the law enforcement agencies, against those responsible for the comments. If the law isn't fit for the task then change it. Any other way invites happily walking into state censorship by proxy.
