I remembered in the 2000s, you could say whatever you wanted on Facebook and nothing would happen. Then it all went to Zuckerberg's head. He's destroying his site. Look on any given site and there is honestly no need to moderate 95% of comments. It's ridiculous. Comments are censored because the site is run by scammers or they have an agenda no one likes. Pure and simple. For a great example of this, look at Engadget and The Verge. Whenever they have a story that is political, comments are turned off because they know their writers will get owned. It's sad.

The internet in the 2000s just didn't censor at all, for the most part. Forums were moderated, of course, mainly to stay on topic. And people that were 'over the top' naturally went to 4chan and /b/. But any and all of whom used Facebook in the 2000s, as well as Myspace before that, were, and still are, a bunch of noobs.

That shit provides absolutely no value. Real social media, as in... social media that explicitly links to your real identity, are utterly worthless.
