MODERATORS
Related to this topic is Masnick's Impossibility Theorem, Mike Masnick observes that it's impossible to do content moderation at scale well (that is without both malicious content slipping through while false positives get taken down).
A more humorous version of the same notion is found on Masnick's proposed Twitter content moderation speedrun. Note that Musk not only failed to not trip over all these steps, but also found new ones to trip over, and now Twitter is... well what Twitter is today.
