Community standards complaints are used against valuable speech all the time.
I know because I hear about it every day in my job.
Then the related problem to that is when you get your lawful speech taken down, you don't have any options.
You don't know how to get your stuff put back up.
So we have courts, but we don't have a right of appeal.
These platforms have the right to host any speech they want.
They actually have the First Amendment right to host any speech they want.
But I think as users, we want them to use that right wisely.
Because they're trying and they're failing over and over.
They cannot tell the difference between hate speech and reporting on hate speech.
And so accounts get taken down and suspended when they're doing perfectly lawful things.
