You are allowing speech on your internet to be arbitrated by a bunch of big corporations. There is no reason to think that's going to go well in the long run. There are about a thousand special interests each with their own agenda that want something blocked. There is already huge pressure to remove ISIS content. It puts these companies in an untenable situation if they take down the nazi content, but leave up ISIS recruiting and terror bombing videos. We've already seen the Syria War crime video fiasco, so I think there is slippery slope already happening.

> You are allowing speech on your internet to be arbitrated by a bunch of big corporations. I disagree. First, Apple and Google are refusing to host a particular app in their stores. But on the subject of hosting, there many thousands of web hosts, many in places that probably wouldn't care about serving such content. The oppressed literal Nazis can pick any one of those, but I think it's ludicrous to expect that any particular provider should be expected to serve it. Even if they're big and popular. Maybe especially then. Suppose Google were an Israeli company. I'd like to think we could all agree it would be unreasonable to call on them to demand they help disseminate literal Nazi content. Google and Apple aren't Israeli, but I don't think that makes it OK to insist they go along with it. And ultimately neither company is saying that you can't go find that information on your own, even using the browsers they provide. They're just saying they're not going to cooperate to make it easier and more convenient. I can't think that's a bad thing.
