Dissenting opinions don't do well here.

Completely reasonable discussion to promote yet you are pretty heavily downvoted.

Is it common for linear growth to cause these sorts of issues? Any postmortems to share from similar app failures?

Free speech is so invaluable that it is insane to squander for such an inconsequential event. It has the ability to save millions. It could cost us a lot before this would even be a real discussion.

I will assume you meant to reply to another comment because there is no double standard here. George Floyd protest were free speech and necessary.

By what measure are you attributing all of this to any App specifically? What if 60% of the violent offenders were radicalized via Twitter? If this were a court case all of the platforms would be implicated.

A protests of 1000s(tens?) of people had some unknown (be honest) number of violent actors that resulted in the death of two people. We have no means of verifying that those who committed violence did so at the behest of bad actors on any given App. We can speculate or let the media speculate for us. Speculation nonetheless.

One would think that a community so dependent on data would require it.

Would you have felt more safe at that protest or walking through a rough area of Chicago on any given day last week? [0]

Is this really worth the slippery slope we are now walking toward? I don't know. At least not yet.
