This is all nothing but theater and distraction from the real problem.
Is there any other way to censor millions of users, billions of daily posts other than with AI? I doubt that.
Censorship itself is the LEAST problem.
What is far more sinister is the depth of analysis they can already perform with just a few "likes".
I wrote a post about it.

In a nutshell, they can with just a few clicks create a personality profile of each user which is extremely accurate and can predict if you are a "High Risk" individual. The "pre-crime" idea becomes reality.
And they ARE working on a thought-reading interface, this is confirmed and documented, not theory.
They have started to perform "wellness checks" on some individuals, people are already going to jail for "hate speech" in Europe.
This is not about selling your phone number and your friends list to advertisers anymore or to manipulate Trump supporters.
This is about absolute and total control.
