That's a picture from today of part of an editorial that's on the first page of the New York Times's website.
All of the social media websites that I have ever seen have written policies about allowable content. They also provide methods for people to send concerns about inappropriate material.
Since 2010, my blogs have frequently gotten censored and permanently removed by the websites that hosted them. Online stalkers are constantly talking, through the message boards at my blogs, about how they think that I am schizophrenic and a crazy feminist and that my blogs should be disabled and my phone taken away from me so that I can't post anything online. Men have stalked me in their cars, pretended not to know what I'm talking about when I confront them and film them and their their license plates, and then they have contacted the YouTube blog where I publish the videos of them and they have successfully petitioned YouTube to remove the videos of them and to issue strikes against my user status for "inappropriate content." How did those men know who I was or where to find me if they hadn't read or listened to my blogs online? YouTube once removed a video that I published of a man who had seemed to be about to hit me after I told him not to cough at me; YouTube said that the content of the video was "inappropriate." YouTube apparently thought it was "inappropriate" for me to document the danger that I'm because of the conglomerate's abuse of me.
YouTube continues to allow paid ads that promote the conglomerate's agendas. Those ads often play before every video at YouTube.
Social media can't pull the plug on ISIS? Why not? If ISIS and other terrorist groups have to use less recognizable sites, they will lose their aura of legitimacy. To discerning people, those groups have never had legitimacy, but you have to know your audience.
