This is a really good question. I can't think of one. I'd say "me" but I'm no longer really a "prominent tech writer" -- more like former/sometimes tech writer. Anyone have names to suggest?https://twitter.com/jessesingal/status/1336698932357902336 …

I think "against any & all moderation" is also a strawman. The issue is scale. If I moderate 100K people, I'm a moderator. If I moderate 1B people, I'm a censor.

I agree! I was saying I don't think it's anyone's serious position. Therefore everyone is for some degree of moderation, and even deplatforming, as it were, with real differences in how and where, and different levels of concern about the downsides that are widely acknowledged.

I’m not making a point about simplistic arguments. I’m making observations about deep-rooted bias in prominent publication stories about moderation decision. The point is that arguments aren’t even being acknowledged.

I'm not a fan of all tech news and framing out there so can't do a blanket defense of that, but I think the "tech critic" space is one where I can pretty much do a blanket defense that the downsides are, well—we raised them!

No. I think I've been clear that I think any platform *must* do a fair bit of moderation just to survive. My point is that I think that too many are focused solely on moderation as a tool to deal with societal issues, and I think there are often better levers.

Further, I think very little attention is paid to creating better incentives for good behavior, rather than just the straight up punishing bad behavior focus that is how most moderation works.
