Another call for more censorship from the media.
I agree that threats or incitement of violence or crime should be censored. Automated bots should be too.
But automated systems make mistakes with censorship.

I put an image on FB that was censored by its computer system.
It was a picture of a guy windsurfing. The message they gave me was something to the effect that FB did not permit violence, or cruelty to animals. 🙄😏
Fortunately, they allowed a reply and a human being fixed it

People are not only being unrealistic in their demands that internet platforms increase censorship - they are enabling Big Brother totalitarian behaviour.
We should report threatening tweets to @Twitter and police, not expect them to magically instantaneously ID them.

IMO behavioural problems in society today are due to factors such as
1. Narcissistic, Me, Me, Me - only I matter - think
2. The entertainment industry and other media that give badly behaving people star status
3. Divisive Dirty PR/Politics tactics that exploit cognitive bias

It amazes me that people blame internet platforms for people’s behaviour; and ignore the influence the entertainment industry likely has on behaviour, especially the behaviour of those not capable of critical thinking.
