@Melpomene@erisly.social I think the problem with these sorts of platforms is that they then try to launder their "world view" as a sort of "how the world ought to be". People from there show up to conventions, conferences, round tables, and talk about "how they do things".

To Zuckerberg, nipples are spooky, presumably because an Attorney General knocked on the door one day, and he agreed to censor "bad things". Also, as a former Google lawyer (Daphne) pointed out, these sorts of companies tend to forget why something is in place, and assume "this is the way things ought to be".

But, it could be other things. There are quite a few ways in which them doing so much can be troublesome tbh.

It's like an intersection of a PR / marketing (because they have to impressive the investors with their "tech") / media bubble.
