In the old days a user was forced to block hostile actors, whilst now evverone urges some admin to block the hostile actor. Platforms are gardens, before they were open spaces, with lots of spam.

Censorship and deplatforming demands are now all over, esp. by the traditional press, and the left. Esp. worrying are the continuous demands in the press to censor hatespeech or lies. Young Gen-Z folks are crying loud when I call them weak. Next they call HR. Stalin rears his ugly head again.

And academic freedom is gone. They even let in police now.
