I realize I'm jumping back and forth between sides here, but that's because it's a complex problem and I haven't made my mind up. But that said, to return to the previous point...if you need a court order to ban every spammer and troll, you'll drown in spam and propaganda. The legal system can't keep up.

I'm not saying companies should need a court order, only that they should only be obligated to remove content by a court order, and ideally they'd lean toward keeping content than removing it. I think it's generally better for platforms to enable users to hide content they don't want to see instead of outright removing it for everyone. One person's independent journalism is another person's propaganda, and I generally don't trust big tech companies with agendas to decide between the two.
