"It’s truly amazing how focused people are, in discussions on content
moderation, on the claims that “content moderation is censorship” and that it’s
primarily “suppressing” political speech. That’s not how it works at all.
Honestly, the origins of most content moderation efforts were around two major
things: (1) spam prevention and (2) copyright infringement. Over time, that’s
expanded, but the major categories of content moderation have little to nothing
to do with “viewpoint” discrimination, no matter what Texas seems to think.
Casey Newton has a good post exploring Facebook’s latest transparency report
where he highlights how little moderation has anything to do with people’s
viewpoints."
