Both of you are correct. When I was a mod, I saw bots show up to automate removal of content - and there was simply no time to think or worry about the long term effects. If you want to remove hate speech at internet scales, you are going to be creating lists of bad words and acting on it. That also means that tomorrow, that same tech can be used to remove healthy speech and only amplify the worst kind of content that influences people. We’re still going to use those bots though. The only thing I do more of is study what creates unhealthy speech in the first place.
