Twitter Suspends American Far-Right Activists' Accounts (theguardian.com)

Twitter has suspended the accounts of a number of American "alt-right" activists hours after announcing a renewed push to crack down on hate speech. From a report on The Guardian:Among the accounts removed were those of the self-described white-nationalist National Policy Institute, its magazine, Radix, and its head Richard Spencer, as well as other prominent alt-right figures including Pax Dickinson and Paul Town. Spencer, who according to anti-hate group SPLC "calls for 'peaceful ethnic cleansing' to halt the 'deconstruction' of European culture", decried the bans as "corporate Stalinism" to right-wing news outlet Daily Caller. "Twitter is trying to airbrush the alt right out of existence," Spencer said. "They're clearly afraid. They will fail!"

*THAT* is the primary issue for you? When most people think of Nazis they don't think of censorship, they think extreme racism and nationalism, ethnic/religious cleansing, etc. But you hear the word Nazi and think "a group who censored people"?

And, what if they're not Nazi's? Alt-Right != Nazi.

For the purposes of reality, it does.
