Does it make sense business-wise? What business will want to be on a system that has no moderation? It's just asking for your brand to be accidentally or intentionally associated with undesirable things.

And the only reason businesses still use email is Google's development of advanced and almost effective content moderation.

The difference between Google's moderation and Twitter's moderation is, in the Google case, that the user is in control of what is "spam" and what is not (and can still consult the "spam" if any).

you mean spam filtering, which is different from moderation. google won't censor "hateful emails"
