Regular reminder that as much as we often talk in the language of lofty principles when discussing content moderation, "brand safety" is a real behind the scenes driver and advertisers' understanding of "free speech" is unlikely to be the same as yours...https://twitter.com/daphnehk/status/1398318473193811971 …

the duopoly is obviously too powerful and so anyone's leverage is limited, but i think it's pretty nuts to say that brand safety doesn't guide what platforms do at all, or at least that the thesis it might does not "make no sense" but thanks

If you're saying a pre-emptive model where platforms practice self-restraint because of the anticipated reactions of advertisers, then that's hard to disagree with (partly because it's hard to disprove). I do think the idea that advertisers exert any positive control lacks proof
