Because people critizing it get labeled as a right-wing nut or similar. Currently happens in Germany because a "trusted flagger" organization (whose job is to delete so called "hatespeech") is being criticized by being directly funded by the state and the media is shielding it and deflecting criticism on behalf of the government.

Jesus. The biggest issue I see is who keeps these so called "trusted flaggers" in check? What accountability mechanism exists for them?
What prevents people working at those trusted flaggers from abusing the org's position and just banning stuff they don't personally like or for malicious actors to infiltrate the orgs to ban stuff? Kind of like a rogue Reddit/Discord mod on steroids. Since people who actively seek out power, are exactly the ones who shouldn't have it, according to Plato.
As all these orgs aren't elected like our politicians that we can change through votes yet they seem to have gotten the keys to online speech.
