I don't get it. I am not a big user of social media, but how is twitter responsible for user's comments? If it tried to regulate them (I can't imagine how it would do that), then critics will be coming about its censorship. And all those user comments about how its the platform's fault for enabling toxic comments- To me that sounds like blaming the assembly language just because computer viruses have been written in it.

I don't claim that they necessarily are, but you could argue that the design of their platform leads to users behaving in the way they do behave, i.e. if you only give them the option to "like" something or reply to it, dislikes will be expressed in replies.
