The platforms “are all facing this problem where the right wing has been on them repeatedly about content moderation and how they [shouldn’t] control any content,” said a lobbyist for Meta, who was granted anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak for the company. “And now the tables are turned in some fashion, and people are all over them, saying you can’t allow this kind of content and that kind of content.”

Social media was biased against the left more than the right since before the Republicans went on their big Crusade against social media censorship. The Democrats welcome the actual left getting banned off social media, they hate and fear the left more than they hate and fear Republicans, while the Republicans fight for the right when they get banned.

Dems relished using the far right to get cause to also remove their left ctitics under both sideisms, convinced as they are if we all just pretended they were good they would win.

It is our fault, we did not believe hard enough, but I digress.
