@enigmatico There are three outcomes from Twitter, Facebook, and other large platforms doing this:
1. People leave the big platforms for alternatives as more and more people get banned or annoyed with restrictive rules, causing increase competition and eventually a shift in platform usage once enough people leave.
2. Hell freezes over, Congress becomes functional, both parties agree that the Democrats are right to propose internet moderation requirements, and the conservative Supreme Court ends up agreeing with Democrats in spite of precedent otherwise.
3. Hell freezes rock solid and big platforms either don't get any more restrictive or become less so.
