I suspect we could go around and around as to what constitutes moderation versus ideological censorship. I hope that we can agree that the feds putting pressure on the scales is wrong during any administration, and that transparency in moderation is a good thing.
- etchalon 4y ago"The Feds putting pressure on the scales" is a fairly broad term for something every level of the state does in multiple, almost incalculable ways.
- roflyear 4y agoIn my experience, and I don't mean this as an insult, people who think this stuff is such a big deal are either young and immature and don't understand how things work, or extremely naïve. I have family who are surprised that the government surveils people, like it is some kind of conspiracy. I disagree with government surveillance, but inevitably they use these examples as why "the XYZ are bad" where XYZ is ... whatever they don't like. Clintons, globalists, democrats, republicans, trump, jews, whatever.
