The far right is losing its ability to speak online. Should the left defend it?

There's still plenty of far right hate on the "public square" sites the article mentions. As long as the hate comes with a veneer of civility, they don't care. Most importantly, they seem to apply it evenly across the political spectrum.

I don't know why the article focuses on how it affects the far right when I see people closer to my own political lean getting suspended every day. You can say "Respectfully, your kind should be exterminated." Meanwhile "I want to punch the asshole who wants to exterminate me" gets you suspended.

The word "freely" has been removed from the title because HN prevents titles longer than 80 chars.
