>Seems to me they're operating on a matter of principle.
That’s what I’m talking about. The “principle” argument is genuinely funny! They have unlimited power but because they’ve chosen to follow an arbitrary rule based on their arbitrary definition of neutrality, they have no power. It’s a coincidence that they enable doxxing, harassment and DDOS-for-hire because they’re religiously bound by a sacred covenant! They dare not cross the ancient gods lest blood and pestilence rain down upon all our heads!
They’re not making a choice to continue enabling harassment, doxxing and DDOS-for-hire, they are simply doing as the sacred runes prescribe, as all orthodox stewards of the realm should and would do. It’s actually noble, we should actually be thanking them for acting this way.
It’s just plain funny.
As for your food bank analogy, do they provide food for active murderers and pedophiles? Like, if they were visited by current victims and the families of victims asking them for help, would they respond with a box of food for the perpetrators and tell the victims to kick rocks?
