@Melpomene@erisly.social I think quite a few of these companies have a vaguer public policy, and a more specific private one which they give to moderators (there are a few possible good reasons for this, but I suspect it also lets them sweep gaffes under the carpet by *quietly changing the policy* and acting as if it was always that way).

I think it is more a matter of transparency, or the policy being misleading, than a matter of moderation.

It can also be subjective, and might lead to someone splitting hairs over each decision, which runs against the intention of 230. In this Biden case, it feels easier to handle, because they probably announced it months in advance, collected comments, and made an announcement. How many decisions do they make a day other than it?
