The platforms “are all facing this problem where the right wing has been on them repeatedly about content moderation and how they [shouldn’t] control any content,” said a lobbyist for Meta, who was granted anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak for the company. “And now the tables are turned in some fashion, and people are all over them, saying you can’t allow this kind of content and that kind of content.”

You are right that any crisis shakes up things and that even someone looking pretty good right now might get in trouble.

But on the one hand we are talking about people with wealth in the order of the GDP of a mid-sized country.

Meta truely is a one-trick-pony, with ads making up almost all of their income, and of course they could be in trouble if a scenario like what you suggested were to happen.

On the other hand, Zuck has money without end, so he can buy whatever would continue to make him money.
