True, the far right has lost of lot of ground since musk took over twitter. Hanging Nazis was really a mistake post war. Giving them parlement seats is the best way to take power from them.

(Yes, this is how stupid you sound)

we aren't talking about some social media platform. we're talking about a nation state censoring speech. these are two radically different things.

having said that, even on social media platforms with modern machine learning algorithms you can't effectively censor. Look at how the far-right uses memes and secret symbols to communicate even through algorithms. for example the pepe the frog memes, the 88, the hand symbols, etc.

you can't say "rape" on youtube or tiktok so people just use "grape" instead. the Chinese do similar things on their internet. censorship is always going to be a losing battle.

Hanging Nazis was really a mistake post war

executing people who committed war crimes and genocide versus a country censoring speech. again.. two radically different things.

Giving them parlement [sic] seats is the best way to take power from them.

explain the connection between "giving" seats to Nazis (last I checked we had elections) in the current discussion about a country censoring speech.

you are free to spend your time on the internet saying anything you like. if making these weak appeal to ridicule comments makes you feel stronger, I support you
