Shootings in two US cities this month that left 31 people dead and 53 wounded have set off a national outcry over the role of social media in distributing extremist content online.

The platforms' responsibilities have been debated in the news since the Aug 3 shooting at a Walmart store in El Paso, Texas, which killed 22 people, followed by an Aug 4 shooting in downtown Dayton, Ohio, in which 9 people including the shooter died.
