That’s a reference to the dozens of Americans detained for over a year with no charges or due process. I would pick a different hill to die on.

Not that I believe you can show me anyone in prison for, or being charged with, "walking through a building," but the point of my question was whether it was impossible to believe that a change in policy at Meta could possibly be the result of good-faith reconsideration of the debate. Instead I got fanfiction with irrelevant agenda-fueled talking points. I'm not dying on any hills, I'm asking why the distraction instead of just considering the possibility that someone might agree with him. Getting this much flak about it is wild.

I addressed the point of your question directly by offering a plausible alternative explanation for what's going on here.

No, you wrote fanfiction about cartoon villains, without explaining at all why it's not even possible that this policy change could have come about through internal reconsideration of the merits of the ban within Meta. I don't know why you bothered, but it has nothing to do with my question.

It sounds like you weren't really asking a question, so much as indirectly asserting your opinion, and expecting everyone to agree with you. Or rather, putting the burden on others to prove that it didn't happen the way you think it happened. Which in my opinion happens to be a fairly naive interpretation.
It's beyond debate that big tech is dominated by liberals who hate Trump. This discussion is searching for an explanation for why up until recently these people regarded Trump as Hitler, where even allowing him to speak on their platforms was violence and terrorism, and now they're like welcome back, let's make "informed choices"! Do you really think the leftists in Facebook suddenly got wise and are now thoughtful, balanced centrists? Sorry that you don't like the way I presented the argument but what you're proposing lacks credibility.
Why are you introducing inflammatory irrelevant misreprentations of the facts instead of addressing the point of my question?
