Honestly, I wouldn't mind some form of content moderation. But I'd prefer some honesty and objectivity in the enforcement.
I've had a couple of accounts banned from social media (one on Twitter, one on YouTube). In both cases, I had no idea what policy I had supposedly violated until after I appealed, which is less transparent than a Soviet show trial. In the case of YouTube, the appeal itself got stuck in limbo, and someone at Google briefly locked my main account (rather than the "brand account" sub-account associated with the channel). The thought of having all email since 2004, my family's TV service and my domain names all ripped away from me for arbitrary, capricious and clumsy enforcement of vague policies was like an ice bath.
I've migrated most of my stuff away from Google now, or at least have accounts I don't care about losing.
