Whether that person is a full blown fascist or not, if they repeat far-right talking points, that is going to promote and empower the fascists and recruit-brainwash new potential supporters of these ideas.

What if someone promotes:

ethnostates, racism, antisemitism, homophobia and transphobia, conspiracy theories, eugenics, anti-vax and alt medicine etc

Then is it really worth keeping this shit? Why the hell would you want to allow harmful ideas to be distributed and promoted to people?

Social media is now a powerful tool for brainwashing people, and we must not let it spread hate and ideas that make everyone's lives worse (except maybe the top 0.001% who benefit from people fighting over pronouns)

Wow, you are really mentally retarded, you don't understand that if you give the power to determine who is nazi or not to the state, it immediately becomes a dictatorship? Are you so stupid as not to understand that??? What prevents that tomorrow from thinking like you are what is nazi? And they censor you, and they persecute you because you don't think like the government establishment or the state apparatus that is in power at that time. If this is not easy to understand for you, that means you just are an ignorant a leftard who is guided by empty emotions and not by reason.

There is no hate speech that validates government censorship, debate is the solution to extinguish fascist or communist ideas, extinguishing those virulent ideas like yours through debate and the use of reason is the only way to end their propagation, and not through the coercive power of the state or a corrupt regulatory entity.

You should read more and not talk so much nonsense.

We aren't talking about the state. We are talking about social media platforms and how it's important to keep hate from spreading

The same, that’s why I mentioned the government OR a corrupt power behind the platform. If that person decide from one moment to other, that YOU are a threat and you are now a Nazi (even if you are not), that person, the owner of the platform, can censor you without giving any explanation, simply because you think differently than that person.

Say tomorrow thinking like you do is being a nazi, you are going to be censored just because the owner of an app decided to, not out of a sense of justice, not to try to avoid “hate speech”, but because your ideas do not go with the narrative that the designer of that app wants to promote. and that is when you, without having done anything wrong, but just giving your opinion, become a nazi, just because a single person decided that now you are a nazi.

Factual point for you, real Nazis did censorship their opponents or any person that had a different opinion than theirs, so you are promoting collectivist Nazi ideas here.

And then if you let them have their free speech, there will be more and more of them, until their party gets elected and democracy goes out of the window.

No harm is being done if you censor people posting about how much they hate (insert minority here).

You can criticize politicians now. Do you want to elect a fascist dictator who will send the anarchists and the free speech fans to camps, together with trans people and immigrants?

Because if you dont purge authoritarian ideas now, they will grow up and purge you instead

Basically you are promoting Nazi censorship methodologies here dude. And the correct way to fight against authoritarians like you is FREE SPEECH because here with freedom I can take you to school and make obvious how wrong you are. Because your arguments are basically the same arguments that Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Mussolini and alll the collectivist socialist used to incarcerate the opposition and different opinions. Basically you want to implement a fact region with that stupid ideas of yours, where somebody else can decide what is god or not.

You still fit get that debating ideas with freedom is the best way to eradicate authoritarian and racist ideas like yours.

Censorship is fascist, you are promoting that.
