I am not sure about these unilateral decisions by social media networks.

Especially in anticipation of future behavior.

They do this for someone we hate or someone who is hated, next thing hey could be doing it for someone who they disagree with.

I don’t think the left should have this level of control of popular culture and the global media. I am beginning to see a chilling effect on some speech.

It’s almost as if, if you don’t think like the New York Times & Hollywood influencers then there is a risk of being silenced

It’s the unilateral and arbitrary nature of these decisions by institutions we have no way of holding to account with no recourse I worry about.

I keep going back to this thought - Twitter could have blocked Malcolm X and Martin Luther King with this level of power.

How do I know that if Bobi Wine says something that challenges the authority of America he won’t be blocked?

How do I know if someone challenges the lack of black leadership at twitter they won’t be blocked down the road. Who watches the watchmen?
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Just to be crystal clear I think there should be limits to free speech

1. Incitement of imminent violence.
2. Hate speech.

Outside of that I am cautious about limiting speech. I am also cautious about things done without public accountability throughout the whole process.

I am not sure about all of this. Facebook also is forcing people to either give up all the networks they have created on WhatsApp or to cough up their data.

It feels like a hostage situation. Say what we agree with or else. Share your data or else.
