"Curious" discussion requires a free and open society and a sense of personal security. If that doesn't exist, then no one will dare make statements online that could result in persecution in the real. If they want to protect curious discussion, then they need to protect the society that fosters it.

But again...they are free to make public statements denouncing what is happening without having to interfere in the moderation. Yet they have not done so. Why not?

Instead, what do they ask for?...For people to "make good new things".

But sometimes, obstruction or even destruction is just as "good". One doesn't watch a cancer grow and say "hmmm....what good thing can i create in response?" No. You fucking destroy the cancer.

They don't want that though. "Good new things" are profitable. Destruction isn't. (Unless it's the destruction of moral constraints.)

And worse yet, destruction will inevitably result in the downfall of some of their very close friends and acquaintances. It's no surprise they aren't saying anything.

(I realize your response is neutral, or I at least read it as such, so please don't take my comment as an attack on you.)
