wrong call. the admin should start detaining and prosecuting those who participates in such criminal activity. take them as isil (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destruction_of_cultural_herita...) and act accordingly.

How? The same way they handle extraterrestrial invasion from Alpha Centaurus.

'Tech Giants'? Did they mean facebook, twitter, google? I guess..
We should stop calling them 'Tech'. If they were once, not any more. Those are giant advertisement companies, generating most if not all of their revenue from advertisement. No one would call big investment banks 'Tech Giants' event though they produce one of the most sophisticated software.
Google departed from being a Tech company when their former CEO reached out to the election campaign manager of a certain political party and offered their 'influential power' to them. Facebook never was a tech company. Those managed to accumulate huge amount of money and use it to attract very talented people. However, these talents put to work to extract data from 'the users' (young zuckerberg named them very well once) and sell it to a highest bidder, literally. It is very much the same as those mentioned above investment banks attract most of the talents from physics and math to work on investment algorithms.
Clear definition would help to understand the motivation of advertisement companies to remove a post, block a video or a user, to sensor one opinion or the other, to offer their platforms to political campaign.

First and foremost, use you analytic skill to assess if those protesters aren't just bunch of UIs used for somebody else benefit.

who cares about virus in time of political crisis?!
"You never let a serious crisis go to waste." (c) Rahm Emanuel
'democrats' (aka. neo-communist) are largely benefiting from the current crisis and not wasting it. Only to realize later that they were exposing themselves and army of their associate UIs for people to see their true color.
Re:Tech companies: Stop pretending to care about Black people

They should not care about black, or white, or female, or male people. What they should care about is hiring the best fit to their needs, regardless of skin color, sex, etc. It is up to the people, regardless, white, black, or whatever, to became the best, to demonstrate and use their ability not a color of their skin.

what exactly make you think american 'socialism' takes scandinalian form? who is going to drive that change? current 'democrat' leadership is disgusting, brainless, corrupted, to say the least, and they aren't going anywhere unless true liberals (in its original meaning) get rid of them first.

Tech or any other minded people should use their own brain to make a decision.
btw. voting for 'democrat' in US nowadays means voting for socialism. One can certainly do that, but one may want to read a book or two to learn what socialism is.
