This usermag.co editorial is garbage propaganda btw. And not garbage as in false. Garbage as in not-even-good-at-being-propaganda propaganda.
It's just weak anecdotal arguments in support of Piker, weak emotional arguments against "the far right", and then page after page of conflating livestreaming with involuntary surveillance, claiming this drama is indicative of some existential threat, and then the pièce de résistance closer and not-so-subtle endorsement of Piker's anti-capitalism agenda:
"Profit-driven tech platforms ensure that bad actors and extremists reign, and we’ve allowed tech oligarchs to dismantle all vestiges of a shared reality."
The whole thing reads like a fluff piece somebody would write if they NEEDED to defend Piker.
