Why did it take so long for Reddit and Facebook to block racist groups?

At least a little self awareness of how ridiculous and fruitless it all is.
Banning words you don't like won't change these people.
Never mentioned are some of the subreddits which weren't hate groups at all.
badacademia pointed out terrible practices in academics
righwinglgbt was actually just a normal sub for gay conservative people who feels
bigchungus, mammothchungus, hugechungus +20 other chungi subs was literally memes of a fat bugs bunny, hilariously r/mediumchungus somehow survives
hatecrimehoaxes was posting evidence of those who claimed hatecrimes yet were proven wrong
small Scottish history meme subs, game mod subs, all sorts of things
meanwhile Reddit happily harbours r/incest, r/aznidentity, horrendous misogyny and white hate subs
their new rules basically state that hate against white people is ok, hopefully along with their terrible redesign this is the final nail in the coffin
That’s hardly the issue. The issue is the megaphone they’re given, and more importantly, being able to air their shit in public which would not be possible otherwise, or not that effective. Without going into the legalities and liability of publishers to begin with.
Once they have vanquished their foes the window simply shifts and they find new targets to silence.
Regardless of all that some of the things banned are just absurd and weren't hate speech at all.
Candace Owens and John James are heroes of the pro-Trump community, and every skin shade is welcome. It's a different vibe entirely. Reflexive critics probably never bothered to explore the site or its successor.
