Deplatformed

Social media has become part of most people's lives, and it's set to evolve tremendously as we increasingly incorporate technological advancements into our lives. Unfortunately, social media companies have not properly been held accountable to the communication over their networks, and although nearly all of these companies are highly innovative and have empowered many individuals around the world, it has come at a cost to public order, which is directly a result of poor misguided legislation and not holding these organizations accountable for the communication that they permit over their networks. At its core, social media is revolutionary, but these companies have an obligation to society and themselves to assist in maintaining civil discourse and public order. Algorithms must be created to detect and deplatform individuals to stop organized behavior that leads to violence and social unrest within society. Social media companies presently have very little incentive to stop violence fueled by hate and misinformation that is communicated and planned over their networks because they profit off the news created from the destructive behavior. Governments have an obligation to establish a legal framework to deal with changes in technology for society, and to not do so in this instance is reckless and has unnecessarily led to millions of people being emotionally and physically harmed. If social media companies can't properly monitor the interactions over their network, then they are part of the problem, i.e., domestic and international terrorists. In consideration of the Dunning-Kruger effect, social media sites are dominated by individuals that are the least informed, and this leads to influencers misinforming others in the most outspoken manner ever available in human history. This is the nature of the effect, but in instances of social media, it can lead to mass emotional and physical harm. Information that crosses social networks must be monitored and verified, and people must be suspended and deplatformed in correlation with sites' policies. Sites must be made legally responsible for content on their networks to make this a reality because if they aren't forced to do it through legislation it will never happen as a result of profiteering off of public harm, civil unrest, etc...
