I hate to be pessimistic, but this studio consistently gives me reason to be with their low-to-mid quality, high volume output. Hopefully this is slated for a year in which they aren't already working on 6 projects.

Is it possible / are there any examples of sites that have ToS which shield them from liability without granting them the ability to unilaterally decide to sell user data later on, or is faith in the platform owner all we can rely upon?

I've hated this functionality from both sides. Blocking someone should never give them any indication they've been blocked; that was incredibly shitty and anti-privacy of reddit, it just encourages them to make alt accounts to evade your block. Nobody has the right to a captive audience or know that I'm choosing to filter out their content.

Everything sans "I voted for Obama" was the most stereotypical possible response I would've expected of a two-time Trump voter and my only conclusion is that he's… an asshole? I'd do the same thing in Fred's shoes.
I know this will sound like a loaded question but I promise it's sincere: Could someone suggest a meaningful takeaway from pieces like this, other than it being just another reminder of how incredibly unintelligent the "typical" voter is? Just as with Galen's interviews with swing voters, I simply feel dumber for having read this article.

Fandom just doesn't have a ton of viable alternatives so I feel trapped.

The Kindle app is just an unnavigable hellscape for those of us with thousands of volumes and issues, and with the shuttering of the @cmxsupport Twitter account, there are now officially zero support channels to contact Amazon to request book fixes from publishers because Kindle Support still claims it's user error every time ("The bubbles on this page have no text." – "Have you tried redownloading the book on a different device?"). If only Steinberger had built an actual competitor to cmX instead of whatever DSTLRY is, we wouldn't now be left with zero platforms of old cmX's caliber.
That hasn't been my impression. Users on HN seem much more technically literate but notably more socially regressive (and particularly pronatalist) than those of /r/technology.
