Mea culpa

But you were probably more wrong in arguing that white nationalist groups have a moral right to use “private” spaces to organize an ethnic cleansing? Misunderstanding an app is fine, but tacitly supporting the far-right’s ability to organize is pretty weird, Will.pic.twitter.com/SEGqo4ZEtv

I believe in freedom of speech. And I do believe that there is a difference between platforming people in public and allowing them to communicate in private. I’m still thinking on this. Ultimately, I think every platform should have the right to host whomever they want to

Do you think it’s a good idea to completely cut off these people’s ability to communicate? To me, they look increasingly like martyrs. I think people should be able to hear what they say, if they want to, and make their own minds up. The alternative is simple censorship, no?
