Why can’t tech firms shut down terrorists as fast as they do Nazis?After the violence in Charlottesville, Va., some tech firms and social-media sites were quick to ban white supremacists — far quicker than they were when it came to scrubbing radical Islamic terrorists.

GoDaddy, Google and even Russian Internet officials booted the Daily Stormer, a neo-Nazi and white-supremacist Web site, after it published a despicable derogatory story about the woman killed by a white supremacist in Charlottesville.

Facebook took hits for failing to remove the event page for the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville. Even OkCupid, a dating site owned by Match.com, banned white supremacist Chris Cantwell for life for joining that rally.

Don’t let any “blood and soil” statements fool you. The alleged Nazis protesting the removal of statues are nowhere close to the real Nazis of history. They are inarticulate conservatives complaining about reverse discrimination and easy for GOPe to toss under the bus.

Because unlike the supposed Nazis, the terrorists threaten and impose bodily harm of those who disagree with them.

“They are inarticulate conservatives complaining about reverse discrimination and easy for GOPe to toss under the bus.”

Thank you. I couldn’t figure out a way to express that thought myself.
