MODERATORS
I don't understand what you're actually trying to say.
As a society it's ok for us to have expectations of companies like Twitter and its ok to notice when they fail to meet those expectations.
Digital megacorps do not get a free pass because we don't want them to fall out of the oligopoly.
I couldn't care less what platform everyone's grandma is using this week, provided that they apply a bare minimum of effort to reduce misinformation.
Free pass from "regulation" that the competitors are applying on them. The issue here is what DIGI is.
If it was a governmental body or something I'd take this seriously but this is Google and Facebook "regulating" twitter, both companies with a financial interest in killing twitter off.
Did you even read the article? DIGI did everything they could to avoid having to sanction xitter.
This isn't going to kill off xitter either.
