Substack is an American online newsletter platform that has recently faced backlash for its refusal to remove far-right, racist, and antisemitic content. Despite claims of neutrality and an assertion by its co-founder that censorship does not solve underlying problems, the platform's actions have resulted in the promotion of extreme ideologies. This leads to questions about Substack's operational ethics, as it blurs the line between being a publisher and a promoter of harmful ideas. Its business model and funding history suggest a complexity beyond a simple profit motive.
Substack has continually allowed the dissemination of far-right, racist, and antisemitic content, asserting that censorship exacerbates the issue rather than resolving it.
Despite its claims of not being a profit-motivated entity, Substack's operations align more with promoting extremist ideologies than upholding ethical publishing standards.
