Correct, their theatrics are even dumber than that [3].

here's an answer i gave to this question downstream: "the Riot Games union is bargaining for better pay and less brutal working hours. at Blizzard they did employee walkouts, leading to better pay and changes in work culture. at Kickstarter they negotiated better remote work policies and reduction of discriminatory actions."
IFPTE, UAW, CWA (which just recently welcomed workers in the video game industry: https://cwa-union.org/news/releases/video-game-workers-launc...)
edit: Alphabet Workers Union under CWA, Riot Games under UAW, Tech Workers Coalition
pretty much every team in blue collar industries which have been able to negotiate better working conditions, better pay, and more time off.

that's all well and good until essential services are privatized because "free market good" and now you're dead because someone outbid you for the next available ambulance.
ERCOT can get away with charging $10k+ to a single customer during a "surge" in demand during a massive snowstorm... but "don't like it, don't use it"?
He says as much - from the same article (next subhead):
As we also noted from the first paragraph of our earlier review of this material, to which we will simply refer here for specifics, “there is no difficulty in documenting major atrocities and oppression, primarily from the reports of refugees”; there is little doubt that “the record of atrocities in Cambodia is substantial and often gruesome” and represents “a fearful toll”; “when the facts are in, it may turn out that the more extreme condemnations were in fact correct,” although if so, “it will in no way alter the conclusions we have reached on the central question addressed here: how the available facts were selected, modified, or sometimes invented to create a certain image offered to the general population. The answer to this question seems clear, and it is unaffected by whatever may yet be discovered about Cambodia in the future.”[28]
what you're describing is an ideal world where everyone thinks and acts rationally and is willing to change their views when new information is presented. that is far from reality. in short, propaganda works for a reason.
how do you avoid it when the misinformation is intended to cause division, conflict, and war?
EU regulators.

the twitter files showed that twitter does this no more than any other social media company for natsec reasons, and the US gov't never (let alone "frequently") made demands to censor anyone.
