And I know all of the arguments about the slippery slope that we go down when we start messing with free speech, regardless of the content of it. But these were kids who couldn't see this coming. There's a measure of responsibility and accountability that goes with every guarantee of individual rights and the accountability for stuff like this goes beyond the ignorance and stupidity of the individual who acted on the information.

I think that if they could pinpoint Q himself and prove that his intention was to radicalize people and get them to do horrific things, they should be able to sue him. But I don't know if it would be possible to prosecute for criminal offenses. I'm not sure how I would feel about throwing people in jail for speech, no matter how awful. If it's seditious speech and misinformation that could harm people, I would have to say that it should be stopped. But a rule like that would have to be used sparingly.
