The collapse will happen due to the lack of remaining moderators. Twitter will become completely toxic to advertisers, politicians and influencers, who won't want to remain on the platform. Hate, antisemitism, and unmanaged CSE and SE material are growing.
There was an interesting BBC story about this today: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-64804007
Orwellian garbage. The internet was just fine and companies insanely profitable before the the censorship tyrants showed up and demanded everything be their way.
I swear sometimes it feels like the 90’s Christian fundamentalists won, they just rebranded.
What strange way to conflate profits and censorship.
Also, you are forgetting just how different the internet was a couple of decades ago. Social media really did change the game in terms of idea (bad ideas too) dissemination. Good ideas, bad ideas, lies are shoved down everyone's throat constantly, and not everyone is rational and can tell the difference between those three things.
So no, this isn't fundamentalism winning. This is culture changing, and the rules and regulations changing slower.
