ISIS seeks to spread
White supremacy wants to survive/be left alone
Why Won't Twitter Treat White Supremacy Like ISIS? Because It Would Mean Banning Some Republican Politicians Too.
Joseph Cox, and Jason Koebler, reporting for Motherboard
At a Twitter all-hands meeting on March 22, an employee asked a blunt question: Twitter has largely eradicated Islamic State propaganda off its platform. Why can't it do the same for white supremacist content? An executive responded by explaining that Twitter follows the law, and a technical employee who works on machine learning and artificial intelligence issues went up to the mic to add some context.
With every sort of content filter, there is a tradeoff, he explained. When a platform aggressively enforces against ISIS content, for instance, it can also flag innocent accounts as well, such as Arabic language broadcasters. Society, in general, accepts the benefit of banning ISIS for inconveniencing some others, he said. In separate discussions verified by Motherboard, that employee said Twitter hasn't taken the same aggressive approach to white supremacist content because the collateral accounts that are impacted can, in some instances, be Republican politicians. The employee argued that, on a technical level, content from Republican politicians could get swept up by algorithms aggressively removing white supremacist material. Banning politicians wouldn't be accepted by society as a trade-off for flagging all of the white supremacist propaganda, he argued.

White supremacy wants to survive/be left alone
They’re both minorities, so survival applies to both, tbh...
If we’re calling survival to trying to stay relevant...
I think Taliban/Al Qaeda applies but ISIS is imperialist
Straw man galore
Exactly. You guys want to build a wall to keep the Mexicans out, end the Indians coming in with the H1b visas, ban the Arabs, and cut immigration in half or less too but you do it for the good reasons (noracist)
No one is saying deport the blacks or jews
ISIS uses shock and death to try to spread a message. Not much different than the lynching of the past.
You have
It’s coz we can’t afford it (wink, wink)
In an era where people are calling Ben Shapiro a Nazi, maybe they should pump the brakes.
ISIS = Israeli Secret Intelligence Service
You work with statistical algos, IIRC. You know what the article is talking about...
At least they got rid of the gay frogs guy.
