back to that service if he becomes its owner. But public understanding of why social networks moderate content remains murky.That means, for example, that in many jurisdictions social media companies are obligated to remove child sexual abuse material, terrorist-sponsored content and other banned materials.Each platform has its own mission and business model, and each is free to shape what kind of content it wants to distribute and how it wants to organize and display that material.
