Yes, it is stated in the title of the article. It's a case study of a past content moderation decision which is still useful to learn from, in present day.

Content Moderation Case Study: Facebook Attracts International Attention When It Removes A Historic Vietnam War Photo Posted By The Editor-in-Chief Of Norway's Biggest Newspaper (2016)
[. . .] never a peep from Techdirt about the savagery of American or Israeli forces abroad, even though almost every day you're complaining about American police as if you're concerned for the victims of violence.
Welcome to Techdirt, an organization about technology, copyright, politics, content moderation, speech, and so on.
There are many negative forces in the world (like you stated). There are many good forces in the world (like the humanitarian aid workers in troubled nations). That being said....
THEY near entirely control the media and the message is always pro-war.
Disregarding the above, there is more open speech now than 40, 20, 10 years ago. In history major news papers and cables controlled media dissemination but now everyone has a voice: making our own websites, our own social media (fediverse, mastodon), or choosing to use popular platforms.
The result if this case — whether Apple is success or not — will have a lasting effect on many regions in businesses, communities, researchers, and those outside the computational aspects as well.
If interlopy is to remain/grow among software, hardware, cybersecurity: then pray that the bad Apple falls.

Alas, we are selective in choosing history.

For context (for people coming here nearly a decade later) this is an Obama quote.

/div>AI Production (as Tom, Dick & Harry)
Humans must sleep, AI's do not.
Theoretically, it is possible for AI's to endlessly produce copyright content by single or many companies and for them to send automated DMCA notices.
Where is the quality competition?
