Do those who have large platforms (Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan, Anderson Cooper, etc.) have any social responsibilities? Do they owe it to society to act a certain way or not do certain things? Examples would include spreading misinformation, doxxing, or allowing others to use their platform to spread harmful ideas or misinformation?

No, because a harmful idea to you is often normal to most people.

They have as much social responsibility as any of the rest of us, which is to say, much more social responsibility than most people in this country currently see fit to exercise.

no

(malicious doxxing should be a crime, death threats should be investigated more and punished more)

All should register with the Information Bureau and only touch on designated talking points while sticking to opinions carefully crafted by state handlers. This will enforce public order and promote the common good.
