>Substack's CEO explicitly said they won't ban someone who is explicitly spouting hate, and when confronted with the rampant white supremacist propaganda that they are profiting from on their site, they took down... four of the Nazis. Four. Dash annoyingly doesn't cite his source on this claim, but I think he's referring to Casey Newton reporting offensive content to Substack in January 2024.[0] Newton made it seem like he reported dozens of blogs, but Jesse Singal's reporting indicated that Newton could only find six Substack blogs he believed violated Substack's rules, and Substack removed five of them.[1] The details are hazy because Newton refused to answer Singal's questions about his reporting. So, Dash's presentation is very skewed. A more accurate telling would be "when confronted with six blogs that a reporter believed violated Substack's rules, Substack removed five of them."
