If social media was as strict with potentially harmful content as they are with copyright strikes we wouldnt have a problem.

Copyright is negatively impacting their bottom lines from all the lawsuits they face from MPAA/RIAA. But the more harmful the content is, the more engagement it generates, which leads to more ad sales and more profits. Been that way since the beginning of social media. Why is anyone still surprised by this?
