A line of "cannot police their userbase and prevent them from violently threatening other people on a regular basis" seems to pass the reasonable-person test to me.

(To be clear: I think Mark Zuckerberg and the actors at Facebook who have not handled their fomented genocides on Facebook and WhatsApp belong in the Hague. I am not precious about them, either.)

It also passes the "shouting 'fire' in a crowded theater" test - IMHO the US government can clearly regulate this sort of dangerous speech

Democrats in charge means dangerous speech is from the right. Republicans in charge means dangerous speech is from the left. they would continually declare opposition as the most dangerous of speech and pass/repeal laws accordingly. The supreme court wouldn't be able to keep up.
