technological use of force
I'm repeating what I wrote on the web about 16 years ago.
In the Internet, "technical use of force" is currently driving the situation. Therefore, the forceful opinions of software engineers and those with computational power are more likely to prevail.
For example, "We have the technology to record posts with fishtraps, etc." goes through, and the requests of people who want to write bad words and delete them and get away with it don't go through.
