This is how big tech does damage to humans.
Love it or hate it, the online world is our current public square. A public square, in the united states, has typically been an area where people can shout out their concerns or whatever they want to anyone who can listen and the government cannot stop it.
Currently, our public squares are owned by private megacorporations that not only ban people for reasons many people agree with, but also for insane things like this. There is no appeal unless you convince enough others (using another public square) you are right and they also scream for you.
Eventually, all of us that are 'ok' with this will end up being banned from one service or another for life, with no appeal, and thats that. A perfectly pristine public square filled not with people, but consumers staring at advertising boards.
I would love to know a way this can be solved as its painting a depressing picture. I don't like how this makes me feel.
