A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This is definitely an example of the risks of privately owned social media.
But to say that remaining on the platform is helping him just seems like oversimplifying the matter. What is more likely to advance the spread of his views? If the platform is left solely to his supporters and people oblivious or indifferent to the changes of the platform, or if there are still people denouncing and criticizing it? Seems naive to assume all it takes is for everyone against hate to leave one of the most influential media platforms of these times and its radicalization will have no further effects at all.
All that seems to accomplish is the peace of mind that you are not involved and experiencing the direct effects of it.
