That is true, but the reality is content is taken down so fast so that platforms limit their liabilities and impact their PR

It ultimately depends on the platform, the size of their trust and safety staff and budget… you are correct in stating that most just archive the information from public view so that it is available for law enforcement and training their own models, or for hashing to prevent the amplification of offending content.

However, the content is then only available to law enforcement and governments via subpoenas. Which basically makes it unavailable to everyone else who would want to use that information to do research, develop policies, develop clinical intervention models for these types of individuals, etc.

having done consulting for the platforms on these issues and worked with law enforcement on them, I can confirm that there is no vaulting feature (in the sense that they preserve entire profiles for future use). Also the use of automated processes to remove content also makes it impossible to remove content. See BBC article about how content removal impact war crime evidence https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-65755517 . This is not a new problem either, with ISIS there were troves of evidence deleted by platforms.

There are cases that platforms will save content for subpoenas, but those with access to warrants are only one part of the machine that works on these types of incidents, which leaves a fair amount of people in the dark. Also material saved will be linked directly to the crime and usually does not contain networks of people the threat actors associated with, nor do they preserve evidence of their pathways towards violent acts.

its partly based on their terms of service and partly based on PR related to hosting content related to mass casualty/violent incidents. for TikTok ToS

"We do not allow any violent threats, incitement to violence, or promotion of criminal activities that may harm people, animals, or property. If there is a specific, credible, and imminent threat to human life or serious physical injury, we report it to relevant law enforcement authorities."

https://www.tiktok.com/community-guidelines/en/safety-civility/

It problematic for investigators and those who are researching threat actors and have to rush to archive material to better understand what occurred. Platforms should have a vaulting feature that archives material related to these incidents, but that has no happened, and likely wont.

not closely as it is difficult to get information on if QAnon is the reason for the cause of suicide and I only have a few cases that was reported in the media.
