The reaction by some on the right (the less sophisticated) seems to go beyond just the defense of first amendment rights for all speech to a belief in an obligation by everyone to give a platform to actual nazis and white supremacists.


Do you want to live in a world where a handful of tech companies gets to decide what is and is not on the internet? Because I don't. Whatever else white supremacy is, it is a political theory. Are you cool with websites getting deplatformed for their political stance? Because I'm not.

No.

So how is making the internet a utility going to prevent that? Putting internet access in the hands of a government and running like an entitlement program is the only thing worse than what we have now.
