No. This is like blaming hammer-as-a-service company for hammer murders.

If you're leasing out equipment, you better have reasonable tracking/prevention mechanisms of your equipment. This is much like tracking car leases, computer leases, apartment leases.

wat.... ? 1. you rent a car, and on the Term of Service you declare you are not going to use it for anything illegal .

2. Go rob a bank with it.

3. The rental car company is liable?

According to this logic, if you checkout a book from the library, hit someone on the head with it, then the library is liable....

Society will stop functioning in this case. Google would have to start requiring background checks to open a gmail account...

If FB/Instagram was: 1. Actively promoting that illegal activity, or 2. Turning an blind eye / not removing posts that are clearly doing illegal stuff, then they might be liable...

The point is that there are hundreds of millions of accounts in FB/Instagram, and it is almost impossible to monitor everything that goes on it.....

No. The rental car company should

1. Do driver record check 2. Contain enough info about drivers to aid law enforcement

I believe it is faster to sign up for an instagram account than getting a rental car.

Social media cannot prevent everything. On the other end of the spectrum, they can't just brush themselves off of the responsibility either. This is simply, to protect children and vulnerable.

They need to be ok with losing fake users, bots and illicit activity accounts from their MAU counts.
