This is happening all over. Twitter is banning/de-verifying mostly right-wing users, Shopify is stopping carrying stores for right wing people like Milo etc etc.

In Milos case there is soliciting views of neo nazis and video examples of defending child rapists. Quite apart from not wanting your company associated with that content there is probably a legal need to distance ones self to avoid litigation in some countries.

He made a joke about his own experiences as a young gay man on the Joe Rogan podcast. He has continually distanced himself from the Alt-Right and neo-Nazis. He has also recently married his fiance, who is a person of colour.

He sang the US national anthem while a group of white nationalists gave a Nazi salute in front of him, then claimed his myopia prevented him seeing it. It’s a bad comedy at that point.

"He has continually distanced himself from the Alt-Right and neo-Nazis"
When?
"He has also recently married his fiance, who is a person of colour."
And? Because a man marries a woman, they can't be misogynist?

It's extremely telling that false statements made against predominantly right-leaning individuals in this thread maintain their prominent hue, whilst true statements correcting those beliefs are fading to a less visible hue.
