In most of the world people have no problem with holding the site responsible for hosting images of child sexual abuse, even if those images were posted by users.

And in most of the world, criticizing a leader may have criminal offenses associated.

There's a reason the US is unique and that most of these companies are founded there.

The fact that businesses tend to be founded in the country with the least regulation and protection for consumers and public interest is probably not something we should really be proud of. It's kinda the worst part of unchecked capitalism.

Arizona proudly bragged about being the least hindrance to self-driving car testing in their state. Which is why businesses moved their self-driving operations there, an honor they can brag about. And now they also get the dubious honor of being the first to have a resident murdered by a corporation's self-driving car program.
