Personal responsibility online and the content-moderation trap

The Faith Meet discussion turns into a personal-responsibility argument: don't demand social media be tuned to your exact liking — unfriend, block, and take responsibility ('if your job is one block away from the strip club, you don't quit; you just don't go in'). The hosts argue no team can moderate a whole platform — even Facebook with its armies can't, and the human cost of moderation is brutal (a federal grand jury's child-pornography reviewer anecdote). Christians forcing values on non-believers, political capture of 'Christian' spaces like the Babylon Bee, and the platform's Kickstarter (28 backers, $3,500) and church-subscription business model are all treated as evidence the venture will fail badly.
