Summary | Small social media networks don't have the same resources as big social media platforms to fight terrorists. Because platforms such as Facebook or Twitter can quickly block accounts supporting terrorism, extremists need to find other "smaller" platforms.

Germany vs. Twitter

Summary | The German government demands that Twitter remove illegal content (some offensive language is illegal in Germany) from the platform within 24 hours. If they fail to do so, Germany threatens to fine them up to 50 million euros. Now social media platforms have begun deleting German accounts which are even just coming close to illegal content so as not to risk a fine.
