Seems pretty logical for enterprises/products that once presented themselves as wide open forums of ideas for EVERYBODY, who suddenly decide to start telling huge segments of their customer base (half?), we no longer really want you to share your ideas here.

I mentioned this in anther thread (maybe replying to you) but I feel like this is a mischaracterization of the beginning of social media.

I agree that Twitter and FB censor opinions that differ from theirs - no argument there. However, I don't remember any political BS on either platform at the beginning either. Now it is completely rampant. I guess my point is the censorship is addressing what is a relatively new phenomenon for those platforms, particularly Facebook.
