If they are in fact members of the Alt-Right -- which it seems none of them deny -- then I don't see why any further explanation is required.

The Alt-Right is an SPLC-designated hate group. They promote vile hatred against People of Color, women, Muslims, LGBTQ2s, immigrants, etc. I find it disturbing that well educated people could possibly believe a privately-owned company has some duty to serve as a platform for that filth.

Huh? You're seriously asking why we should care what experts on the far-right have to say about far-right organizations?

The same "experts" that fell for the Clinton campaign's forced meme that pepe posters were all nazis? That SPLC?
