I submit this is impossible, and also, that being flagged, censored, and demonetized only improves my reach on the platform, generates goodwill, and can only destroy my rewards and reputation, which only 'destroy' someone whose goals depend on them.

Frankly, I am glad to gain the boost to my voice being flagged provides.  Rather than being destroyed, I might say:  @berniesanders, if you strike me down, you will make me more powerful than you can imagine.

Flagging by whales has little to do with anything social.  It is demonstrably used to protect profits, and @haejin's case particularly demonstrates that.
