Thank you for speaking up, Damon. I don't see any free speech or 1st Amendment issue involved here at all. Kicking Nazis and white supremacists off Substack is not being compelled by the government so how would the 1st Amendment be an issue? As to free speech: No forum, venue or publishing platform is obligated to amplify any voice that requests the microphone.

The Nazis and white supremacists promote an ideology of hate and violence. When Substack allows them a platform to amplify their views—to reach more people—Substack becomes complicit in the damage that can cause.
