> You have to pick who you want to cave to

Why does the narrative have to be about "caving" to someone instead of weighing principles against each other and taking the action which protects what's most important?

I don't think the "caving" framing was about how the decision maker thinks about it, more about how one side or another sees it as "caving".

Life is full of dilemmas like that where it's not possible to make everyone happy, but content moderation is full of dilemmas where, no matter what you choose, a few very unhappy ones will hound you to the ends of the earth.
