Question to PeerTube: What are you doing to curb the ever-growing number of white supremacists using your platform?
I do agree with Twitter, AWS, deplatforming who they want: why would you purposefully allow a bad actor (or misguided people) to use your technology/weapons? If they're not sophisticated enough or want to piggyback on the technology of people who don't believe you should be allowed to freely incite violence, then those bad actors will learn a lesson - as they seemed to - and then they will have to rally and align with those who do fully support a lack of moderation, etc. There are other problems like a lack of data and network portability laws, and PeerTube to some degree is a bridge for that, but the laws still need to be in place as a canary - if they ever happen to get removed.
The broader issue is societal - and that our institutions have been weakened by a number of factors including regulatory capture by industrial complexes, tied with the duopoly - leading to policy that kills off and suffocates the majority of people instead of supporting them to be able to thrive. Racism, as an example, could be argued as a multi-generational health whereby narratives, role modelling, overlaid onto circumstances of excess suffering, excess stress, that prime the racism to continue to perpetuate. It's also a sign of a lack of deep, genuine community and interconnectedness; we have politicians and the mainstream media and the vast majority, if not all, global brands constantly trying to manipulate us - and the whole ad industry enabling little "mom and pop shops" from being able to join in on the manipulate to sell things to consumers, buying attention for little to no effort - undeserved, unearned attention.
It's possible that if Trump hadn't been deplatformed then he could have further incited violence, more easily, and quickly enough; Parler and other forums did at least temporarily organize at least the most avid. It's possible too - though based on the Capitol incursion security forces weren't prepared and/or lacking integrity - that security forces would have been prepared to counter whatever portion of disenfranchised (and misguided) Trump supporters would be ready to escalate further violence. But the important part to all of it is that it was a wakeup call - that Trump got voted in because who slid by the control mechanisms and corridors the duopoly had managed to evolve and strengthen over the last X decades - that there are 80+ million people who aren't happy and are prone to lies, propaganda coming from and being reenforced by these various complexes.
In short conclusion, Andrew Yang's core policies seem like the new foundation necessary to counter the majority, if not all, of the problems that lead to this current state of America; Presidential candidate, now running for Mayor of NYC.
