At the end of the day, a mistake was made and corrected by the medical/pharma industry. It's obviously an effective drug when used correctly, as you indicated. Still, ordinary people had to bear the consequences for a lifetime.

Which, to bring the discussion back to speech and your original comment, is why I'm arguing that platforms should be impartial with regard to what they amplify and let the legal system define and handle illegal speech.

So, I have trouble seeing the benefits of a “neutral” stance being worth it. Shutting down all social media is probably an over reaction, but even that seems like a better option.
