MODERATORS
To some degree I'm less concerned with them tracking/gathering info and more with their lax moderation allowing for all manner of hateful content to spread. Imo they're not that far removed from instances like exploding heads or the like.
They're the same folks that have enabled the spread of genocidal rhetoric, attempts to subvert democracy (not only via Facebook but through WhatsApp use as well (and not just in the United States, see also Brazil)), and probably more I'm not thinking of.
I challenge Ruud to make a set of explicit defederation rules without intentionally adding things specifically to let threads in such as "must be given a 3 day chance to change behavior after a verbal warning from an admin". The rules can be retroactively applied to meta and they will be predefedemerated.
