They put friends I admire including Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and Charlie Kirk via Turning Point, on their “Hate and Extremism” list.

Some in Corporate America funded them, and many made donation rules, content moderation, and partnership decisions based on their nonsense.

We knew they were unethical; glad to see this admin expose SPLC’s criminal nature.
