The reason that action against content related to terrorism or child sexual abuse is so proactive is there is a legal requirement to remove it. They are criminal offences and society says they are wrong.

Could the reason that the rates are not as high for bullying be that there is nobody saying that someone will go to jail if this content is disseminated?
