If you cared about "cancel culture" and platforms having too much leverage, you'd be a lot more concerned about this duopoly than whether Twitter lets Nazis speak.
- yew 4y agoThey're not the government. They've no obligation to platform anyone at all, whatever sort of extremist they are. Get used to it, examine why the world will be a better place, move on.

Nazis are not banned on any moral or political basis: It's purely a buisness decision. It sounds fine but when you begin spouting some unprofitable ideas they're not going to hesitate to ban you too.

We are talking about it because we find the current state with Visa and MasterCard as unacceptable.
