If you get a radio license and setup a web site that allows people to broadcast their own death threats over your radio station, that’s your fault.

In Facebook’s case they not only did that but marketed their death threat service and touted it as highly effective.

That’s a much better metaphor.

Exactly. You are the control operator.
