> that’s what people want

It’s not what I want. I don’t want my social network promoting violence anymore than I want my toast poisoning my family.

If a post author is promoting violence, lay the blame with the post author, not the social network. As I understand it the legal basis and protections for the network using this simple valid logic already exists. They’ve been operating with this protection for years now. What has changed is the increased appetite for authoritarianism from many of a particular political persuasion.

You have a choice to put poison in your toaster and kill yourself, just like you have the choice to not read hate-speech if you don't want to.

If you don't think you, as an adult, are capable of seeing hate-speech without disregarding it, then you should use a child-friendly platform.
