Houdart's Newsletter - Substack Controversy Survey |
The Controversy
This week, the New York Times reported on Substack’s stance on not banning extremist content on the platform “so long as newsletter writers do not incite violence.” This decision, evoking the First Amendment, is a cop-out. I believe in free speech and protecting the one I stand against, but I do not believe in providing platforms to spread and monetize it. All that to say, I am going to explore the possibility of other platforms, but I would also love to hear your thoughts on this specific question using this little survey.
