I gotta say, I watched the TED and I was also baffled by how little prepared he was to actually talk about the subject of free speech or content moderation given that he is putting so much on the line to buy the company.
Many of the issues on this article can be solved by turning the moderation problem on its head: instead of preventing users from posting any possibly offensive content, give users tools to choose which content they are exposed to (f.ex. prebuilt blocklists that can be customized with some granularity, and shared between users)
