Is all content moderation necessarily a "political enterprise"? Like, the kind of dehumanizing rhetoric now being explicitly endorsed by Facebook against entire classes of people -- in their own examples used to bully others into joining the dehumanization campaign -- tends to lead to individual hate crimes and terrorism before it escalates to political bodies.
