It allows those responsible for these events to feign lack of agency. The Third Reich was enabled by convincing people that they had no agency and demanded that they adhere to the will of the bureaucracy - even when that meant genocide. Not saying that Twitter's censorship activities are comparable in terms of outcome, but rather that the same underlying mindset is at play here... of course the big tech censorship is likely to result in much more troubling outcomes in the future.
