It's extremely foolish to let monopolistic tech oligarchs have this unprecedented influence over the flow of information. I shouldn't have to keep saying this, but here we are. If online censorship keeps tightening, the internet will cease to be an information-democratizing tool of the people to any extent at all and will instead just enable ruling power structures to administer propaganda much more quickly and efficiently than they could previously.
I like what she's saying here, but I do have one minor issue with it. Caitlin routinely makes the mistake that mental health as defined by the field of psychology is a reliable measure of what people ought to be. I've called her out directly on this mistake before and she seems to have no appreciation of the problem. Determining what people ought to be is the responsibility of all of us, and our responsibility must not be relinquished to some academic authorities.
