In short, yes.
There are people who do it for ideological reasons, because they want to encourage hate. There is now a growing cadre of people who do it just for profit.
You see, this has never been about freedom of speech. This has been about social media platforms choosing certain kinds of speech to promote and other kinds of speech to not make as visible. We know that they promote hate speech, so we actually have a cadre of people who realize that they can make money out of this by spreading hateful content. It drives not just positive but negative reactions too, and that's crucial. Quite often, the people saying “How dare you?” are actually bringing in dollars to the people who are spreading the hate in the first instance.
I think it's a combination of both of those. This isn't really about a marketplace of ideas; this is about the choices made about who to promote and who not to promote and about the monetization of hatred.
Mark Zuckerberg is younger than I am. He's worth $100 billion. He's not in the free-speech game; he's in the paid-speech game, in the advertising game.
