It will be used to justify the expansion of surveillance because Apple/Google/Facebook/Twitter are forcing the connoisseurs of the conspiracy theories into other platforms that don't have as high of protection from foreign intelligence service influence. Essentially, keeping debate in the open and public is the best option for everyone, even if you [rightfully] disagree with it or it's woefully misguided.
Apple/Google/Facebook/Twitter's actions are making things far worse for everyone by forcing conversations underground to alt platforms.
Freedom of speech and expression is really _really_ important on private forums for that reason.
