Big Tech Can’t Ban Its Way Out of This. Platforms are scrambling to avoid being used by right-wing extremists targeting the inauguration. But the seeds of this crisis were sown long ago. https://t.co/91dh0oPq6n

Social media companies are far from the chief culprit in the violence at the Capitol. But to the extent that they did play a role, it has little to do with suspending this or that account, and much more to do with how they make their money. https://t.co/Pb4n6mkSpf
