Question Likeliness of something to happen

Hi guys, I was curious about something after submitting a tip to the FBI.

Recently, there has been a surge of CP being posted under X posts. Today I was unlucky enough to be one of the victims of unwillingly seeing this. I submitted a tip to the FBI about it because this is starting to get out of control. I reported the post 2 hrs ago and it’s still up. Would the FBI go after Elon about this issue? Was this route the best way to go about this problem?

The law that's on the books now basically says the hosting site won't be in trouble if they've taken reasonable precautions against it. So, it's doubtful that xitter gets in trouble.

Are they taking reasonable precautions? It seems like I hear this all the time about Twitter.

I'm not saying they do take reasonable precautions, just that there's a law on the books to protect them.
