One the biggest problems with the internet today is bad actors know how to manipulate or dodge the content moderation to avoid punitive consequences. The big social platforms are moderated by the most naive people in the world. It's either that or willful negligence. Has to be. There's just no way these tech bros who spent their lives deep in internet culture are so clueless about how to content moderate.
I know them. I worked in this industry. They're not naive. What basis do you have for these comments?
I think you're conflating with business executives running said social and gaming companies. Stop calling them techbros. Meta is not a tech startup. They're a transnational corporation. They have capitalist execs running the companies.
