I’m willing to be $1 million space bucks that AI would not he able to tell the difference. Same sentiments, same talking points. This is why Twitter didn’t end up implementing a lot of safety features that went hard after neo-nazis because republican figureheads would have been swept up in such a ban.

The same argument can be, and has been made about the radical left and Antifa supporters. Since Twitter was managed by leftists, wouldn't it be more credible to say "democrat figureheads" or were you just making a partisan jab?

How many congresspeople in either the US federal government or any of the US state governments are associated with Antifa?
OTOH there are at least a few congresspersons who subscribe to QAnon.

Kamala Harris was supporting a fund dedicated to bailing them out of jail, does that count?

I would expect the people elected in democratic systems to be against fascists.

Nazi and antifa are not equivalents in any way whatsoever. I think the only equivalence you might find is that both tendencies are somewhat open to the concept of political violence? But beyond that, banning nazi content while allowing antifa is a perfectly reasonable stance for any platform to take.

You're saying conservatives are openly calling for the extinction of the jews?
Interesting, all conservatives? Most of them?

actual nazis - they post hitler content and all. reporting sometimes works but it’s no longer permanent, you’re allowed back after some weeks if you post rule violating nazi content now. some of these nazis who were previously permanently banned learned that you just contact support and say you were banned for right wing views and they get let back in. there are a lot of active nazis who are open about it.
