    Substack has a Nazi problem

    The newsletter-hosting site Substack advertises itself as the last, best hope for civility on the internet—and aspires to a bigger role in politics in 2024. But just beneath the surface, the platform has become a home and propagator of white supremacy and anti-Semitism. Substack has not only been hosting writers who post overtly Nazi rhetoric on the platform; it profits from many of them.

    The CEO did an interview on The Verge with Nilay Patel and refused to say that he would take Nazi content off the platform, taking an 'absolute free-speech, nothing is censored' approach.

    The common sentiment is that refusing to take down Nazi content makes one complicit and supportive of Nazis.
