And is it those platforms' responsibility to enforce thought-crime intervention anyway?

It's easy after the fact to lay blame, but interfering in discussion, even heated and wild, is an easy slope into censorship and tyranny.

Either all of social media should be white supremacist, holocaust denying 4 Chan, or it is those platforms' responsibility to enforce thought-crime intervention.

This attitude will push normal people to 4chan. We shouldn't be surprised when Racism and Nationalism make a comeback.

So instead of doing that we should just make the whole internet 4chan?

No it won't, not in meaningful numbers. Most people don't want that kind of garbage in their feeds. If they did 4chan would be more popular than Twitter.

Most people don't want to have disgusting, antidemocratic viewpoints forced on them by social media. They want to not see that stuff.
