Where is this banning of files going? How long until individuals are being banned or punished in other ways for wrong-think in our files and emails? How long until putting "I don't trust the election" in an email results in getting your Google account banned? Or until some ML analysis determines with some statistical significance that your files contain "disinformation" and you're banned?
I remember when YouTube and Twitter weren't ban-happy (or suspension happy or demonization happy) with their vague and ever changing criteria. Then they started banning the most extreme people like Alex Jones after some crazy incident in the real world. Now they ban individuals, doctors, censor news stories that turn out to be true, etc. How long until this applies to your files?

Donut Operator makes HN. Never saw that coming.
Opening up the issues of censorship to broader audiences is a good thing.
"They started with banning Alex Jones."
