This can only lead to a further bifurcating of the electorate, and exacerbates the echo chamber phenomenon. I'm not conservative, not even close, but I do blame Facebook and Twitter for picking winners and losers and alienating conservatives. A free speech obsessed person myself, I've been keeping a close watch. In the old days, hate speech to block meant, imminent harm. Today, someone saying I don't feel Safe has become an acceptable argument. The argument was made against a liberal signatory of the Harper letter, the argument was made against the editor of the NYT who published the Cotton piece. We've rapidly descended to calling disagreement Hate Speech. And we have double standards like the NY Post Biden debacle, where it was clear that Silicon Valley can rationalize away the most basic values of journalistic freedom. Hypocrisy does down the memory hole, it's tossed into that chute like in 1984's Ministry of Truth. It didn't have to come to this. For those who think squashing dangerous right-wing views is good and just: what do you think will happen on Parler? Moderation? Lessons learned? What is the end goal here, Facebook and Twitter? How do you see online discourse in ten years time?
