"In fact, I applaud the non-government organizations taking on the absolutely critical and necessary act of moderating their platforms, they should be doing it vastly more than they are." To quote a Star Wars movie, "this is how democracies die, with thunderous applause". These platforms are monopolies due to network effects. You know that. When someone says that they're going to shut down Facebook post for organizing protests, they're not motivated to not have the posting be present. Their motivation is to prevent the protest from happening in the actual physical space. Politicians have pressured these platforms to do this. Again the agenda isn't to remove offensive content. The agenda is controlling the public. If that doesn't disturb you then you don't really get it.
