Observe the rinse-and-repeat patterns here:
1. Openly leftist media outlet [1] sensationalizes posts by a few users, and proclaims a non-sequitur - that the problem lies with the entire sub-reddit, instead of with a few users
2. SV tech company feigns umbrage, cowering behind the sensationalism of said media outlet, legitimizes their false claims and BANS the entire sub-reddit. Instead of banning the offending users.
3. Ecosystem of left leaning outlets (techcrunch et. al.) publish opinions in agreement with the actions, though similar actions from their preferred political faction (say for a few illegal posts by far-left activists on AOC subreddit) goes ignored and free of media amplification.
The frequency of the above steps happening has skyrocketed as the democratic presidential campaign gains steam. If you trained an AI on the above phenomenon, the internet would be rid of any speech not condoned by the left faction of the democratic party.
Techno-fascism is well and truly here.
