Says who? We're seeing some negative side effects to certain kinds of content flowing through social networks, and perhaps more importantly, from the tech company's perspective, politicians do not actually want them to sit back and not touch this content. If they did that, they'd likely end up getting regulated.
Also, a truly unmoderated social network would quickly become a clearing house for garbage content nobody wants to look at.

- kktkti9 5y agoMaybe that says a lot about the real value of digital social networks as we know them now. Perhaps we should just have dumb pipes, and let people network over them without a MITM running psychology and behavioral economics experiments on people who merely want to connect with friends and family
