One Instagram presentation, circulated internally and seen by the Journal, was subtitled “Why business as usual isn’t working.” Company leaders feared a feedback loop, according to people familiar with the matter, in which the incendiary events in Washington riled up already on-edge social-media users—potentially leading to more strife in real life.over the past week that, taken together, amount to its most aggressive interventions against President Trump and his supporters. And they show the company continuing to grapple with how best to police its platforms while still allowing for political discussion.
Pushing Trump to crush him without any evidence of crime or even incitement to crime is typical of a dictatorship disguised as democracy, where reading alleged intentions replaces rational law. The United States is dangerously approaching a progressive aseptic dictatorship.
