A major social platform just hit #1 on Sweden's news app charts. The spike in downloads? Users are pushing back against heavy-handed content moderation policies.
This surge reflects a broader shift—people want platforms where information flows freely, not filtered through centralized gatekeepers. When users feel silenced, they vote with their downloads. Sweden's chart position is just one data point in a global pattern.

Not really. Who still believes in "free flow of information" these days? In the end, it's just a new group of people becoming the new gatekeepers.

Here we go again? The stricter the review, the more users leave. It's really just shooting yourself in the foot.

Oh, come on, you’re only saying this now? I’ve been annoyed for a long time watching those big companies doing content moderation...

That's better, finally someone couldn't stand it anymore. It's about time to resist.
