Like every social media platform the "community guidelines" are written to be purposely subjective and vague, such that the enforcement of the guidelines can be done arbitrarily, per the whim of the company and their agents.
Corporate Overlords don't have to engage on Rights - it's all in the Privilege realm.
So we changed the terms. I felt like the T&S team (trust and safety) sighed a huge sigh of relief because they were having to deal with advertisers and bereft families complaining.
Anyway, it became a very heavy hammer that was very rarely used except in extreme circumstances.
I imagine not every company uses it as sparingly but it’s a much needed clause to deplatform certain kinds of charismatic people who are harmful to humanity. I don’t know anything about this particular case, nor do I want to know even a TL;DR. I’m just here for the comments and your comment chain struck a nerve.
if companies really cared about humanity, most of them would close shop. Corporate activism is truly scary, as they game the system to acquire virtue to be immune to criticism and even get kickbacks from "aligned" politicians. Fascism 2.0 is really weird

I have no public opinions. I just share what I see
Nothing makes people not act in their own best self-interest (e.h., diet and lifestyle) than fear.
Nothing nudges people to forfeit their individuality to a group of overseers (i.e., government) more than fear.
Nothing blinds people to possibilities other than the dysfunctional status quo more than fear.
Nothing servers fear better than more fear.
Not my opinion. This is history's opinion.
