tech acting only when it is both politically safe to do so, and unsafe not to, due to election results, shows weakness, not strength... it shows they have a healthy fear of political power: now in new hands It would be a flex if they’d acted when there *wasn’t* a political shift

Related... all the people gravely issuing ominous warnings about this being the *real* incitement to civil war etc etc, get a grip. The gun nut militia types were always a threat and remain so. The sheeple larpers never were and continue not to be.

I’m tired of doing things based on anticipating the reactions of the “look what you made me do” crowd who never take responsibility for their actions anyway. Oh really, the tech clampdown made you retreat to Signal to plan bombings? And you were working for world peace before?

They’re going to do what they’re going to do. The rest of us can only do the only thing that has ever overwhelmed hearts of darkness: build wealth and an interesting future, one imaginative action at a time. Creation compounds over years. Destruction eventually runs out of steam.

not sure, it's just political pressure. Advertisers may hold more power here and by extension corporate America

No, advertisers have little to no power on social media. Its a self-serve commodity market. It’s not like TV. It’s political power at work here.

Each corporation has a fiduciary profit maximization duty - their actions are not about showing strength or weakness but about ensuring present value of future cash flows is maximized. Today's actions are no different.

That is ambiguous though because “profit maximisation” can be broadly defined. It can be argued it’s more profitable to “do the right thing”
