Actually holding platforms accountable for hate speech and propagating dangerous misinfo would solve 90% of the problem. Some shitty guy self hosting his Nazi rants was never the problem. It's a problem when he's allowed to push his content directly to users unprompted.

Believe it or not people hated minorities and drank bleach before social media, they just weren't on the front page.
