While most mainstream social networks have become aggressive about removing pro-ISIS content from the average user’s feed, far-right extremism and white nationalism continue to thrive.
The pages and groups of ISIS members and supporters have almost been completely scrubbed from Facebook. Beheading videos are pulled down from YouTube within hours. The terror group’s formerly vast network of Twitter accounts have been almost completely erased. Even the slick propaganda videos, once broadcast on multiple platforms within minutes of publication, have been relegated to private groups on apps like Telegram and WhatsApp.

Should we have tech companies go after white nationalism online the same way they went after ISIS?

They're the same kind of terrorists, of course.

No, there's nothing wrong with being a white nationalist, untill you cross the line of violence. Same with there's nothing with with being a part of some weird religion, until you cross the line of violence.

Well that's one giant rug to sweep it all under. I'm sure nothing bad will result of it once its out of sight.

Exactly this. Silencing speech doesn't silence thoughts. In fact, silencing peoples dark thoughts amplifies the problem. In effect, they are indirectly supporting White Nationalism. Originally Posted by Saucexorzski

Those people only care about their own freedom of speech. And how they can use it to stifle the freedom of speech of others. Originally Posted by Josuke

Extremists that spout violence, sure I guess. That's entirely up the the owners of the platforms but I'd hate to see people banned just for saying "America First!".

You mean like isis? Is it okay to be part of isis and support it and post to recruit as long as you’re not killing people? Originally Posted by alturic

Sure, there totally aren't problems right now with people being falsely labeled as white nationalists, what could possibly go wrong?

Lets not stop there, lets also obliterate black supremacists, communists, antifa... The list can go on.
Now, how can we tell if this will not get abused? we cant. Right now anyone who has a different opinion on the left can be targeted as a nazi and have their life destroyed. Happened too many times.

You're talking like twitter & co doesn't already try to purge white "supremacy". If you can call it that.

What is it with the alt-right sympathisers coming out of the woodwork as of late? Every single one of these threads is full of those commenters compared to anyone else.

Because once you start down the road of censorship for unpopular speech, stopping on that path can prove to be difficult. Originally Posted by Dsonsion

White identity is a reaction to Western Anti-white id-pol, it's not going away no matter what name they give it. Considering it equivalent to isis, now that's amusing.
Working on my next ban.

Any sites/twitter accounts/tumblr that straight up encourage violence should be suspended, regardless of their political leanings.
