The crazy part is that it’s an unnaccoubtable company making these decisions around managing speech - decisions with will have a significant and tangible impact on the 2020 presidential election. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was some sort of mechanism for a community to collectively decide what the rules should be, and then make sure they are followed? It might be a messy process but hopefully this would be a slowly self-correcting mechanism. Then the broader community could ensure that the companies and other entities that are a part of it follow the rules which have been collectively and democratically agreed on. I feel like there’s a word for this sort of thing, and it’s on the tip of my tongue .... Hint: the word is (democratic) government.
