> this sounds like a strawman to be honest because I haven't heard anyone rant about illegal music since probably 15 years

This is the real strawman, as nobody on this entire thread is talking about illegal music. On the other hand, there's a strong and persistent thread of calls for tech platforms like Facebook to control "malicious or illegal" information being spread on their platforms: an obvious example is the NZ shooter's manifesto + video.

Twitch didnt get deplatformed because a mentally ill person streamed murder on it, and you wont hear a peep about the other big chan. That had nothing to do with "protecting" (seriously? wtf) people from reading some mentally ill person's note, it was a problem-reaction-solution to axe an inconvienent site.
