Conservatives in the United States can chiefly be identified by their faith in the sanctity of The Procedure. They believe that if they follow The Procedure, they can win.

Take a look at the Funding page, lest you think this is some Democratic party organ only.https://datasociety.net/about/#funding

Even edgier conservatives are dismissing this report as simple agitprop. But it's far, far more than that! Did you look at the list of Funding organizations? MacArthur! Ford! Samsung!

So what's going on here? Remember 'Manipulating Procedural Outcomes'? Okay, so what you're seeing is part of The Procedure for establishing why certain actions need to be taken, such as deplatforming, defunding, and eventually, FOSTA/SESTA/PATRIOT-like legislation.

How so? Because, well in our 'scientific society,' you first need 'data' and 'evidence.' So, along comes an organization unheard of until recently, lavishly funded by all the elite Foundations, to generously provide you with why Certain People Online are Dangerous.

As you may have noticed, a whole batch of media articles and coverage of the report was then unleashed next, to confer legitimacy and focus the attention of the Sovereign upon this New Menace.

This also gives us another window into why conservatives are Eternal Losers. If you want to preserve The Procedure, you have to FIGHT LIKE HELL when you see it being manipulated! You cannot restore a Procedure USING the Procedure, or at least the normal, everyday stipulations

To Restore the Procedure as it was intended to function, requires offensive action possibly outside the scope of the Procedure or at least on the fringes of it. This is what lumpen right-wingers mean when they say 'Conservatives Dont Fight!'

However, I'm far more cynical than this. In my view (and possibly Moldbug's), The Procedure was always meant to be Manipulated in this way. If any Procedure is unhackable, it is to be removed by the cathedral, as unworkable.
