It's because these firms are controlled by people who wish to wipe out any opposition to their agenda. Calling anything they delete racist or sexist is simply a smear tactic. In this case Heroku didn't even bother with that: as the article states, no reason for the sudden termination was given, which appears to violate their own ToS.
Opening the front page of Ruqqus shows a lot of content actually objecting to racism, for instance, this post:
https://ruqqus.com/post/31lq/their-goal https://ruqqus.com/post/31lq/their-goal
which highlights and objects to a tweet that says:
"Why should there be a place for white people in our better world? As long as white people are around, they will continue to make our better world impossible. BIPOCS are the ones who are in this together. White people are not welcome or needed."
This kind of racist rhetoric is rampant and easily found on places like Twitter or Reddit. Scrolling through the content on the Ruqqus front page I didn't see any racism. I did see a lot of angry posts about BLM-linked violence and anti-white racism, but that's the sort of thing people are theoretically meant to be angry about, isn't it?
- CydeWeys 6y agoThe first comment on that link is literally "I'm not really sure how much more whites need to figure out their genocide is in progress." If you're trying to make the argument that this is somehow objecting to racism, then you've simultaneously managed to shoot yourself in both feet. This is literally bog standard Neo-Nazi white supremacist conspiracy theory propaganda that you've linked to. If anything it proves why Heroku wants nothing to do with this site.
