While generally I want to see these companies sued to knock them back a few rungs on the hubris ladder, I couldn't help but seeing one really important argument made against suing.
Parents are not absolved from the responsibility of educating their children on the internet. In fact, in the interest of keeping censorship out of the legal purview, it's best for parents to take an active role in educating their children and even censoring the material themselves. By pushing the responsibility for censorship on to government, you create a real and tangible risk to free speech because we know how the authorities love to overreach their power.
Tale as old as time. Parents pay zero attention to what they're kids do so someone else has to be at fault.
