Why do you think you're right?
As others have pointed out in a similar manner, quantum computing development is not yet in a phase to be effectively used for an attack of any sort. However, as this research area is key for the security of the future, I find the possibility of an attack to steal research or similar much more likely. Still, overall the chance of this happening is extremely slim.

Why might you be wrong?
A state could secretly develop advanced QC capabilities for offensive purposes. Alternatively, QC research might be an even higher priority than it is considered today (especially in case of a major scientific breakthrough).

Why do you think you're right?
The time window is extremely small at this stage. It seems that labelling images is way easier compared to text-based posts. Moreover, some posts can have an element of AI assistence (e.g. grammar, improved wording, ...) that is only beneficial to the readers. This means that the potential for false positives (in case the goal is to limit the spread of malicious AI fuelled messaging) much higher.
Why might you be wrong?
It is possible that some process could be under way, but I think at this stage it would be leaked (e.g. through discussions with the community, experts, ...) in some way, as it has a major impact on the very large user bases of these social platforms.
