Who bears responsibility for what happens on social media?

Telegram’s founder Pavel Durov was arrested and charged with crimes related to a lack of regulation on his platform.

Meanwhile, X’s CEO Elon Musk was also threatened with prosecution over the role of his platform in spreading disinformation during riots in the United Kingdom.
