Remembering the context of people being killed for being trans as a relatively common event. It hasn't reached the millions by any means but we'd like it stopped sooner than that.

They seem to be trying to keep anything critical of Elon off the front page.
Any evidence?
Obviously Elon declaring war on Apple was the much bigger story. People on twitter were ready to burn their iPhones in support. It even had politicians threatening to get congress to go after Apple on behalf of Elon.

I think they kind of have. Musk replied "that's fine" to Ye posting the Musk yacht photo and "that is not" to the Star of David Nazi symbol which suggests that was the final line for the ban. The "going deathcon one on the Jews", which led to the pre-Musk ban, is arguably a more explictly a violent threat than the symbol.
The swastika itself represents historical violence on the Jews. I would argue it alone is an explicit threat of violence because I can't see what other meaning today it could have?
That is, if you say "Can we have the intern send some of these to our outside counsel to review for fair use before pulling them down?" you're opening yourself up to a ton of liability for all images.
Child porn, copyright infringement, harassment, hate speech, spam, you name it. Anything goes. It's a complete free-for-all.
Giant internet companies like Google and Microsoft make billions of dollars a year through their partnerships with the E-Mail platform. These big companies do make a token effort to remove objectionable content from their servers, but that doesn't matter.
Anyone who wants to sidestep this reasonable moderation and spread hateful content on E-Mail can easily do so for a few dollars a month by setting up a darkweb technology known as a "Self-Hosted Mail-Server". Underground terrorist collectives such as the "postfix" organization distribute software making it possible to set up a Self-Hosted Mail-Server in a few clicks.
We need to rise up and pressure these billionaire tech companies to stop connecting to any E-Mail providers that do not have a full content council and policy, and a team of content moderators.

That's not really what happened to the Babylon Bee, though. They intentionally named a trans woman as their "man of the year". That would be Level Three of this article: > Level Three: “We’re the free speech platform! But no CSAM and no infringement!” > Power to the people. Freedom is great! > “Right, boss, apparently because you keep talking about freedom, a large group of people are taking it to mean they have ‘fre…

Same goes for deliberately mis-labelling a person. Ironically, the Nazis started their hateful propaganda in the very same way.
Over 2000 years ago, Ovid said "Principiis obsta. Sero medicina parata, cum mala per longas convaluere moras." - stop it at the beginning; a cure is attempted too late when, through long delay, the illness has gained strength.

There was a time when it was pretty easy to set up an SMTP server, but, if you want your emails to actually get seen, it's non-trivial today.

What is scary to me is how censorship has become completely accepted by the new generation, including software engineers here in their 20s. No true hacker (this is Hacker News after all) would be OK with corporation or government censorship. Slippery slope is real.
