I don't recall CP/gore being readily available on those platforms, it gets reported/removed pretty quickly.

You're young. It really was a thing. It never stayed up long, and they found ways to make it essentially instantaneous, but there was a time it was easy to find very unpleasant things on Facebook, whether you wanted to or not. Gore in specific was easy to run across at one point. CP, it was more offers to sell it.

They fixed it, and it isn't like that now, but it was a problem in the first year or two.

And there are still informal networks of Pedos and other pests operating on these platforms to this day.

So you don't see the difference between the platforms that actually has measures in place to try and prevent it and platforms that intentionally don't have measures in place to try and prevent it?

Man, Lemmings must be even dumber than Redditors or something

If they similarly go unmoderated then action should be taken
