Substack says it will remove Nazi publications from the platform
- hn1986 3y ago> Substack is removing some publications that express support for Nazis, the company said today. The company said this did not represent a reversal of its previous stance, but rather the result of reconsidering how it interprets its existing policies. > As part of the move, the company is also terminating the accounts of several publications that endorse Nazi ideology and that Platformer flagged to the company for review last week.

- doctorhandshake 3y agoThis is the verbatim Platformer title, but it would be more accurate to say ‘some Nazi publications’. FTA: “The company will not change the text of its content policy, it says, and its new policy interpretation will not include proactively removing content related to neo-Nazis and far-right extremism. But Substack will continue to remove any material that includes “credible threats of physical harm,” it said.”
