It's both. Any policy has downsides.

I'll use one of the internet's current favorite villains as an example. If the Lemmy admins decide to kick out some set of users, it won't have much effect on the world. When Elon decides who is and isn't allowed to have an account on his servers, it can have a massive impact on legislation and public behavior. Our laws mostly treat those the same.
