The “progressive” Left will be less eager to celebrate these sorts of removals after the corporate censorship lens focuses on them. This is inevitable; there has already been a push to censor left-leaning ideas. So this isn’t speculative; it is already happening.

Though I know it feels good, and even I agree with removing content in some cases, this simply is not how you win ideological or political battles.

In other words, the Left may win this relatively-meaningless skirmish that has nothing at all to do with the real problems or issues, but that makes it all the harder for them win in other arenas — and guarantees the firehose of corporate censorship will be turned on them at the very first opportunity.

Strategic thinkers they are not.
