I don't think that argument applies here. The article isn't advocating censorship or legal restrictions on social media. Instead, it's saying that reducing friction from a very specific content-sharing workflow and giving it a prominent position in the UI of social media sites may not have been a good design decision. Edit: I intended this as a reply to a different comment, but it has a reply now so I'll leave it as-is.

It does apply a little if you extend the definition of "moderation" to include choosing the right set of features in order to direct your users' behavior. That said, I was mostly replying to the parent comment, not discussing the main thesis of the article.
