This happens to people on the left all the time too. They get mass reported if they have any nazi symbols in their videos - even educationally.

I have some trans friends. They all say 'community guidelines' is just another tool to be wielded against them.

Those who forget/erase history are doomed to repeat it!

You mean censoring speech in the abstract or the failure to limit Nazi propaganda in the 1930s?

Also, in which historical era was voluntary and deliberate censorship solely by private, commercial entities a dominate factor in how things unfolded?
