Excellent news!

The Vlaardingerbroek banning reveals something deeper than content moderation. It's the state discovering it can bypass democratic deliberation entirely by outsourcing censorship to platforms who face no electoral consequences. When governments hide behind terms of service, they get the suppression without the accountability. How do we build institutions that can distinguish between protecting democratic processes and simply protecting incumbent power?
