The Texas Supreme Court ruled on Friday that Facebook could be held at least partially responsible in trafficking cases where the traffickers used the platform to organize their illegal activities. Should this happen, it would open the door for social media platforms in general to be punished for any illegal activities that took place on them. Do you agree with this?

The way I look at it, if I have a platfrom and people are plotting crimes their, it’s not my fault. On the other hand if I am letting them meet in secret and keep letting them in even after I know they are criminals, that’s on me.
I think that as private entities they should be held liable for the things that are conducted on their website. If they add restrictions in their policies and then do not follow through with punishing those restrictions it is like any other business turning a blind eye to these laws.
