Watching the world evolve (or devolve) in the last decade, it has become so painfully clear that the people who run these platforms are not just careless, or incompetent, or ignorant.
They are quite clearly selective in what they permit and what they disallow. And their choices make it obvious that they are active, openly hostile enemies of civil, humane, flawed but improving societies.

“The platforms are not neutral infrastructure that bad actors have found a way to exploit. The platforms enable these operations. A destabilizing foreign influence campaign delivered through a platform engineered for addiction is not a misuse of the technology. It is the technology performing exactly as designed, for purposes its designers did not intend and have no structural incentive to prevent.”
