Ever notice how regulators seem to have favorites? The EU keeps going after platforms like Telegram, X, and TikTok—basically anywhere people can actually speak their minds without some corporate filter deciding what's "acceptable." Meanwhile, the big tech players with their mysterious algorithms quietly burying posts? Those get a free pass, even though they're sitting on way more problematic content.

It's wild when you think about it. Platforms that let conversations happen organically get hammered with compliance demands. But the ones that algorithmically curate everything—controlling what millions see and don't see—somehow fly under the radar. Makes you wonder if it's really about illegal content, or about controlling which narratives get amplified.

The whole thing feels backwards. If you're genuinely worried about harmful content, wouldn't you start with platforms that have the most sophisticated systems for either catching it or hiding it? Instead, we're seeing enforcement that looks more like narrative management than genuine user protection.
