Critics, including Jeff Jarvis, accused Wen of playing into "anti-science" campaigns and right-wing disinformation. This shift in Wen's public stance is compared to other figures like Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi, who have faced similar criticism for questioning establishment narratives.

Dr. Flowers argued that the lack of a "quote tweet" function on Mastodon is inherently racist because it prevents "call and response" culture prevalent in Black Twitter. Critics of this view suggested that the open-source nature of the platform allows any group to fork the code and add desired features themselves.

Critics argue that because Facebook and Twitter curate content and sell advertising, they should be held legally responsible for libelous material. The distinction between a neutral network and a curated publishing house is central to the debate over digital free speech.
