Some may keep on saying: "Facebook Inc. is a private platform and they can remove, suspend or ban any user or post on their platform whenever they want." - A yet to be banned / shadowbanned user.

See how this is now starting to not make any sense? How many more 'mistakes' will Facebook make for them to realise that them and the rest of Big Tech is the actual problem?

The position still seems consistent to me, because I consider not censoring people to be as significant a choice as censoring them.

So to me, inaction on Facebook's part isn't a non-choice; it's a bad choice.

The thing we probably both agree with is that nobody should trust Facebook to make good decisions.

Where we part is that I think Facebook already made mistakes by hosting inflammatory garbage. I'm glad they're under public pressure to fix those mistakes.
