My brother in law works for a big platform and said something that stuck with me.
He said the team that flags content in his office, based in Austin, has a list of over 200 specific image macros they auto-remove globally. It's not about local laws, it's about ad money. That hit different because it frames it as a business choice, not a speech debate. Has anyone else had a chat that made them see the moderation side as just another corporate department?

Honestly, I used to try and argue with those types. Figured I could change a mind. Wasted a whole weekend once before I learned. Blocking is the only thing that works.
