Yeah I mean, it would really be nice right now to have some body around that can contend and combat the legions of crazy QAnon/MAGA people online. But I guess that really isn't in their interest.

It took SOPA/PIPA to get them to act for a while. I don't know, they run off of arbitrary rules only they themselves know to keep the mystique up. It's like when we needed them the most - they're sometimes there. When we kinda sorta don't need/want them, they just show up randomly.
