Substack says it will not remove or demonetize Nazi content
Canceling all my subscriptions. Sorry creators.
Substack co-founder Hamish McKenzie, "I just want to make it clear that we don’t like Nazis either—we wish no-one held those views. But some people do hold those and other extreme views. Given that, we don’t think that censorship (including through demonetizing publications) makes the problem go away—in fact, it makes it worse"
Just deleted my Substack acct

@paul This is the perfect illustration of so-called “neutral” capitalists doing everything they possibly can to prop up fascism. Hate sells so well.
Substack is not the state. Your local movie theatre doesn’t play hardcore pornography. That doesn’t make their policy censorship.
“We don’t like Nazis either [but their money is still good here]”
Substack doesn’t even have a monopoly to protect. Disgusting spineless behaviour.
@transpile @paul we should go back to the good ol' days when we had theaters that had porn. I'm tired of the puritanical hellscape that we live in now.
