Platforms should, like how we had to shut down our shit posting community for CSAM.

ISPs are a privatized infrastructure and should really be run as utilities. Like trains or water should be.

The world has been treated as a for-profit endeavor and this has many regrettable consequences.

Check out the company Aqua, they have been buying public water companies across the country and running them into the ground with no government oversight since they are a private company.
