Hypothesis:
Sufficiently usable read/write platforms will attract porn and activists.
If there's no porn, the tool doesn't work.
If there are no activists, it doesn't work well.
Aligns beautifully with the rest of this week's stuff; in a way, I'm surprised that it wasn't assigned.
To sum up: A social media property that is sufficiently good will attract lots of users for various forms of personal gratification (porn, and also cats doing cute stuff) and a significant number of activists whose activism pisses off TPTB. To move against the activists, TPTB must move against the property in general. If you cut the rest of the users off from their porn and cat pictures, they will A) be pissed off at TPTB because they've lost access to the stuff they liked, and B) learn routes around blocks instituted by TPTB, which leads some of them to C) become activists themselves.
