The folks on Substack dot com has literally, and in so many words, come out in support of hosting Nazi content on their site, claiming doing otherwise is “censorship”. Meanwhile, people can’t post porn on Substack, but that’s somehow not also censorship, I guess.

Just to be clear: Substack is a privately-owned site. It is under no obligation to host any particular content on their service. They choose to associate with and platform Nazis on their site because they want to.

What do you call a bar that willingly serves Nazis? A Nazi bar.

@drahardja Well there's a pretty significant difference between the types of content in legal liability.

@volkris It’s a strawman argument based on their logic that any content denied presence on their platform constitutes censorship.

@drahardja Well right, but the realities of the environment they operate in do require some types of censorship. But not others
