Meta has Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and others.
When Meta tells law enforcement that user xxxBobTerrorist69xxx is a terrorist based on information they have from their apps, law enforcement listens. They can also ban that person from all of their platforms. These platforms are used by content creators for findability, just like any business.
