I have a question. I think I've asked this question before but I t'ain't sure. If I write, for instance, "I Benjamin Harris el-Barnesboro, am Muslim, am a terrorist, and I am going to blow up FBI headquarters on December 18, 2015 at 2:13 pm,"-I am going to be arrested. And it doesn't matter what medium I use. The crayon-on-napkin medium, the Facebook "platform," the Blogger launch pad, public or private, I'm going to the Gray Bar Hotel. So my question is,

Why aren't the people who provide the "platforms" arrested? Like Facebook, Blogger, Twitter, whatever? There cannot be a fucking "platform exemption," can there?

Let's make the question more precise. This is my blog. Somebody emails me the message above and I publish it. My blog is now their platform! No fucking way I'm not going to be arrested, too. So how do these "social media" sites escape criminal liability?

That's my question.
