    It’s not popular nowadays to mention that people need to have self accountability, there’s always apparently a website, service, game or social media platform to “blame” for the actions of the individual

      Exactly and sites that profit off of hosting extremist content that radicalises terrorists need to be held accountable for their actions.

                I don’t inherently oppose private platforms controlling who is allowed to comment- I oppose the government deciding certain beliefs are too radical to be allowed on any platform.

                    Implies government led accountability.
