> On a huge platform it can simultaneously be true that platform moderation is almost always focused on behavior instead of content, and a subset of people and topics are being censored.
He made this exact point in a previous post. Some topics look like they're being censored only because they tend to attract such a high concentration of bad actors who simultaneously engage in bullying type behavior. They get kicked off for that behavior and it looks like topic $X is being censored when it mostly isn't.
That's not the same point. Again, I have no problem believing that what you say happens, even often. Even still, some topics may really be censored. They may even be the same topics; just because there's an angry mob on one side of a topic doesn't mean that everyone on that side of the topic is wrong, and that's the hardest situation to moderate dispassionately. Maybe even impossible. Which is when I can imagine platforms getting frustrated and resorting to topic censorship.
