I am certainly more comfortable with a corporation assuming the role of thought police than with a corporation saying "Sorry, we are bound to promote things happening that everyone knows will be terrible for the world." Corporate thought police are certainly bad, but not the worst possible thing - since they are corporate thought police instead of governmental ones, there will be ways of communicating without them (and I already have positions I hold but do not feel comfortable expressing publicly, and if I want to share them with people I will need to find private and point-to-point means of conveying them, and I already have means of doing that). And since they are corporations subject to government, there are already positions that you cannot post on social media without getting in legal trouble of various sorts. And at least with thought police, you have a hope - maybe a slim one, but a hope nonetheless - of convincing them that your thoughts are fine and should not be policed. (with corporate thought police, you can also try outcompeting them, of course.) With a corporation that feels obligated to promote all thoughts no matter how awful, they will not shut down something that 99.9% of society believes is dangerous, for any reason.
