He just wants more censorship. They will ban “hateful” content, and then reclassify anything they don’t like as hateful. We’re already seeing a number of platforms and institutions labeling criticism of Israel as hate speech.

Yes, but just deleting without comment, as if it never existed, isn't the solution either.
Are you saying it should be required by law to have a comment regarding removal of content?
Some might call it a.. what's that word? Responsibility?
Like that whole neighbor and community upstanding injustice and leveraging their privilege for the have nots thing that has defined modern human society up until Cambridge Analytica?
Why is this not as simple as adding a setting button for moderation of hateful content? The user can decide to filter it out.

Nobody has a problem censoring hateful and harmful content, so long as they're the ones that get to decide what that means.
I have a problem with idea of gov sayimg what goes. Whatever gov. If it's your site - whatever goes, goes. You set the rules. Sheesh.
But I admit I am nos so sure when it comes to giants like FB or X. If they were like that from the get go, sure, but sudden switch is iffy as hell.
"iffy" isn't the same as "illegal." They can change their policies whenever they want, provided that doesn't violate any contracts, express or implied, with their customers. If they do violate a contract, they need to make fair restitution as per whatever the enforceable terms of the agreement are.
