"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".
So goes #Substack, for good.
If you don't like Nazis, white supremacists and conspiracy theorists, you kick them out and demonetize their content, period.
I don't know what's so hard to understand. If you throw a party, and invite someone who shits on the floor, vomits in other guests' cups and insults anybody with a different creed or tone of skin, then all decent people will leave.
If you let Nazis hang out at your party, then your party will become the Nazi party, period.
And I'm sick of reading "we're becoming too polarized, liberals no longer want to share spaces with conservatives, extremes are winning" etc. No, we are NOT becoming more extreme on the left - quite the opposite. It's the other political side that has decided to go full in with their extremely distorted and intolerant views of society. And it's our duty, as a civilized society, to confine them to the sewage they belong to, before their shit talk takes over all the platforms.
