Of turning it off is partisan than leaving it on is equally partisan, and where does that leave us?. Each of us must judge what is *good".

- acituan 6y agoThat is just false equivalency. Timing and intent changes everything. If a feature was not purpose built but happened to be used more by a certain demographic, that is not a partisan move at all, but removing it right before a political event intentionally would definitely be. To be clear, I am not saying this is necessarily the case, but not being in the know is problematic as far as health of democratic processes is concerned, especially when public discourse more and more depends on private enterprises. I don't want any fingers on the scale, because even if it might be favoring my side today a) that is not honorable b) there is no guarantee shoe won't be on the other foot tomorrow.
