Twitch didnt get deplatformed because a mentally ill person streamed murder on it, and you wont hear a peep about the other big chan. That had nothing to do with "protecting" (seriously? wtf) people from reading some mentally ill person's note, it was a problem-reaction-solution to axe an inconvienent site.
This is the real strawman, as nobody on this entire thread is talking about illegal music. On the other hand, there's a strong and persistent thread of calls for tech platforms like Facebook to control "malicious or illegal" information being spread on their platforms: an obvious example is the NZ shooter's manifesto + video.
