The politicization of basically everything is just going to lead to segregated services/platforms where the two sides don't talk to each other. This heavy-handed Big Tech stuff is going to backfire big time. https://twitter.com/lukerosiak/status/1328170513332572160
And yes it's all one-sided. If someone makes a false claim that Donald Trump is being mind controlled by Vladmir Putin they are not going to be stopped from publishing their email by MailChimp.
Remember back in April 2020 when Facebook banned lockdown protests from its services because they violated recommended social distancing guidelines? Their bans stopped applying in...June 2020. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-52352073
The plus side is maybe this will cause conservatives to rebel against the idea that businesses can't constrict your rights or freedoms. Obviously they can. Only the Kochs or people way out in libertarian land think this way...
Unfortunately some liberals may embrace the idea that corporations should be able to censor or restrict the rights of their political opponents out of self-interest. Hopefully it won't be enough to prevent a bipartisan majority of people from demanding fairness/equality.
