There was a time when the Left was opposed on principle to our lives being controlled by the whims of huge corporations.
Ironically when this monopolistic control extends to our speech and information, the Left has suddenly forgotten its principles. Arbitrary black box moderation is OK because "they're on OUR side".
Well, I know enough of history to know that contenting yourself with a dangerous or corruptible system because it happens to align with you at the present moment is incredibly foolish.
Some of us still believe in the principle of free speech. Its protection from governments and corporations is a solemn duty as far as I'm concerned.
