They should ban pedophiles.

Shareholders won't allow it. They're too large a portion of the user base.

It's illegal, so an explicit ban seems like a pointless (and likely to backfire strongly) PR exercise. I'm sure they're already doing the bare minimum to cover their legal asses, as well as keeping people feeling safe enough to continue using their platform. Expecting more than that from any capitalistic entity - especially nowadays - is little more than fantasy.

Your brain is broken and your hard drive is suspect if you think they should allow pedophiles to continue to use their platform to groom children.

Where the fuck did I say anything of the sort? Your reading comprehension skills are what's really suspect here.
