There have been some comments here about censorship and I think they are coming from a good place. However, I really think people are only looking at things from their perspective. I think a lot of people here are skeptical in a healthy way and can use inference to figure out if something written on the internet is truthful and correctly framed. A lot of people do not have those skills. I think these platforms need some form of censorship because clearly people are taking things they read randomly as fact and it's clearly having a damaging effect on society (see qanon). This specific instance definitely straddles the line between necessary/unnecessary removal (I think the content should be published) but let's please not act like this is the norm. It's an outlier. People are abusing these platforms to spread hateful and dangerous ideas and it's working because most people aren't internet literate. It is scary to see this (my parents lived through communist Romania), but I think to act like a lot censorship/removal of content on these platforms is unjustified is clearly disingenuous.
