I get where they're coming from. Moderating a huge online presence where people can make posts about things is difficult and costly. But..... It's their platform and they're in charge of it. So........ It kinda sounds like they have to.
if an entire federation of volunteers can do it, a massive org like amazon can.
Yeah, but moderating a massive platform would make infinite growth very difficult, and the shareholders demand infinite growth. Won't someone think of the shareholders?
And if any company can pay for it, it’s Amazon.
They’re complaining because they don’t WANT to, not because they don’t have the money to.
They want to hoard more billions.
