Solid points. I'm with you. I admit I am skeptical of all platforms. I operate from the assumption that we only hear about moderation when these platforms want to control content for other reasons. Moderation for hate speech could be as simple as moderation for porn, but it is not because it isn't about hate speech, it is about what the platforms can and can't control. Which was the point I was trying to make. Sorry if that got lost.
