I enjoy reading Ben Thompson’s Stratechery every day, and I’m always nodding along, but I think his take on Meta and content moderation is off the mark. The web is the open platform where nearly any speech is allowed. Platforms need to tread more carefully because of their power to influence.

@manton.org I don’t subscribe (limited subscription bucks/year) even though I think he’s very bright. Generally speaking, what was his take?

@manton Thanks for the summary.

@manton I’ll never understand when very smart people in re: tech say things that suggest they’ve never actually been on the internet.
