In my circle of friends and family, I’ve been warning them every time I hear of someone unjustly banned somewhere that:

(a) big tech has too much power (b) you should probably not rely too much on Facebook or Twitter for photos, groups, etc

Without fail, I’m “just delusional” and “if someone was banned, it’s because they did something to deserve it”, _until_ they themselves get banned for something.

The most frustrating part - one friend of mine who was banned for something he posted, appealed and was reinstated. When he was banned, “big tech has too much power”, but since _his_ appeal was successful, he’s already back to “anyone who’s banned deserved it”.

I have yet to be banned myself for anything (a fact that my critics like to use as “proof”), but i recognize that if it can happen to someone posting a video game clip, it can happen to me.
