If it goes one way, it can go the other way too. Imagine if a political party bribed some T1s with a ton of money to just not carry any messaging by their opponents, and force sites to remove it or go offline.
This is my concern. I can foresee this going horribly wrong down the road, and as an LGBT+ person in the US who also has some unpopularly left-of-center opinions, that frightens me.
I hurt my brain trying to think of exactly what should be done about platforms like Kiwi Farms though, because I agree they shouldn’t be allowed to exist.
It’s more like if you give someone random the power to jail someone without due process, we can all cheer as long as they use the power right. But then if we give that person the power, Hitler also gets the power and uses it to jail Jewish people.

@Jamie You’re now doing “If we can do bad things to Hitler then Hitler can do bad things to us.”
