Following the mayhem and murder Neo-Nazis were involved in at Charlottesville, Virginia, major tech companies cracked down on hate groups. It’s a move I wholeheartedly support and still think hasn’t gone far enough. Twitter, in specific, is still infested with Neo-Nazi accounts.
Good job @jack. Twitter is where nazis go to escape the oppression of Instagram. pic.twitter.com/LOwBa79fP8

Twitter’s CEO has promised a stronger move against Neo-Nazis. We still await.
However, two important companies unfortunately did nothing at all to tackle the Neo-Nazi content hosted on their platforms: SoundCloud and Bandcamp.
The two popular music streaming services are hosting a great volume of content produced by National Socialist Black Metal (NSBM) bands, who advocate genocide against Muslims, Jews and blacks, glorify Hitler and the Holocaust.
I contacted both companies several times via email and Twitter, but no response has been received and no reported content has been removed.
There are campaigns against racist and Nazi bands, one has to applaud, including those by Blackened Death Records
Fuck nazis, fuck NSBM, fuck hate. "STOP SUPPORTING RACIST BANDS" shirts are back in stock.https://t.co/FtXsLQRrng

Also, make sure you check out Dawn Ray’d, an anarchist anti-fascist Black Metal band, who is trying with other groups to reclaim the scene from those Neo-Nazis and right wingers.
