I feel like this article is conflating a focus on privacy (which I think is arguably good) with a lack of effort on the part of MeWe to moderate content that causes real life harm.
People went to Voat from Reddit because Reddit banned their subreddits where they called for specific acts of violence against specific individuals and groups. It wasn't theoretical or hard to suss out, it was very blatant.
It was never a privacy issue for militias and far-right groups, it's that they want to be able to call for violence without anyone stopping them, and that is what Parler and (apparently) MeWe is allowing.
