@jschuh @ian @Popehat @mmasnick @nilay_patel Exactly. The correct answer is something like “We’re not going to be the Nazi bar. Period. And we’ll need to look at our TOS to see the best way to ensure that. But the bottom line is that we’re not a platform for Nazis.” Refusal to come out and say that? Very bad look.

@kewms @jschuh @Popehat @mmasnick @nilay_patel The problem for an American company is that overt racism is not only the editorial line of major mainstream media organizations, but also the platform of one of the two major parties. By saying "we're not going to be the Nazi bar" you're limiting your audience and revenue drastically. They don't want to have to make that call. Unfortunately for them, they've chosen a business where they have to make that call.
