Neither google/ youtube nor meta/ (facebook, instagram, whatsapp), nor X take down violent Hindu extremeist content until and unless the issue is raised by well-known foreign media

To be fair, this is the case for most things. They don't give a shit what's on their platform unless it's causing bad PR or harming their relationships with advertisers
