Curation becomes moderation when you get too big. It's the reason that anti-trust laws work differently than the rules that apply to mom & pop shops.
It's a constant source of friction with quasi-monopolists, whose employees bristle about how they'd feel if they went independent and their own company was held to these standards. Your $10M company doesn't have to do this stuff. Nor your $1B company 9 times out of 10. But if you're FAANG you're goddamned right you have to follow these extra rules.
What I'd hope we'd get in this space here is metacuration. Give me a curated list of curators for subject areas. I want a feed that's 30% environmentalism, 20% futurism, and a mix of random stuff I should care about but maybe don't look at too often.
I believe this reduces the censorship element by splitting responsibility into more of a chain.
