Why does nobody talk about conspiracy videos vanishing so fast?

I was watching a clip about a old election theory yesterday, and poof, it was gone when I refreshed. It's the third time this month a vid like that has just disappeared on me. Is there a quiet push to hide some debates more than others?

Honestly, what gets me is how fast it happens. I saw a thing a while back about how platforms have these automated systems that flag stuff. They just pull it down first and ask questions later, especially if it gets reported a bunch. Tbh it feels like some topics just get targeted more, like anything about voting or old political stuff. Makes you wonder what's actually against the rules and what's just inconvenient for someone.

Exactly, @davidwright! The speed is the scary part. If a post gets mass-reported by a coordinated group, the bots just kill it. Who decides which topics are extra sensitive and get that fast trigger? It really does seem like the rules get bent for stuff that's just awkward or critical.

Flag it first and ask later? That's insane. No human even checks?
