@lauren This evaluation is pretty self-evident to anyone who was using social media after January 6th.
On Facebook, the mechanism for identifying objectionable content went absolutely bughouse. I'm pretty confident they got so panicked they fell back on keyword matching with no human oversight for awhile just to tamp down the rhetoric after the insurrection.
... turns out there are only a handful of things that can end the gravy train for a tech CEO, and "Being thrown in jail for aiding and abetting treason" is one of them, so I think the social media company owners panicked.
