If only X had paid moderation staff at scale, who pushed back on things.

Also, Elon's ad-hoc policy on TOS banning being, "Things I like stay. Things I don't like get banned." really does expose him as culpable for everything not banned. It was always a stupid policy. But this adds yet another element to it.

The folks who can't jump ship at X don't know how the content moderation tools work, so they just did a code change :).
