To be fair it isn't entirely their fault.
I feel like all of these platforms are trying to satisfy the media. But of course that isn't possible, the media is only satisfied by the hits it gets from dramatic atricles.
They will constantly publish "Platform X has unsavory content" as if it is surprising that some people will communicate "bad" things on a communication platform. But for whatever reason they feel the pressure so they start making it harder for bots, spammers, scammers and people that they disagree with to participate. Of course then the media has a new weapon "Platform X censoring good person Y!".
I'm not saying that all moderation is bad. But these platforms have backed themselves between a rock and a hard place.
