Zero obligation. These companies do however, have an obligation to protect their users and deny extremists a platform to spread hate.

This tells you everything you need to know about what motivates some of these attacks on Bragg. In this case, it was never about fighting antisemitism--it was about weaponizing it to cynically attack an official they don't like (who happens to be the 1st Black person in the role)
