Seeing so many people argue that it's a first amendment violation, completely missing that not only is nothing about his hate speech protected from private businesses, but that Soundcloud is a german company with no such restriction.

Free speech is strictly a government issue. You do not have any speech rights on a private platform.

Doesn't Germany have strong "No Fascism!" Laws? If so, this is not surprising in the least.

The draconian enforcement of such was relaxed lately, but for a while Germany had a problem with people trying to bring back the Nazi party.

Soundcloud is not a Government agency. They can ban whoever they want just as Youtube can ban any channel for any reason.

No, the first amendment is strictly a govt issue.

Free speech is a principled philosophy.

He's not a Nazi but he's most definitely a white supremacist and separatist. Have you really got that far off the fucking deep end?

Why are you afraid of his ideas competing in the open market place? They're evil, toxic, and for losers. There's no reason to "martyr" his position.

I'm not saying that they've "wronged him" or done anything they don't have the right to, just that soundcloud as a platform isn't pro-free expression, which is a shame given how other authoritarian, anti-free speech d-bags have treated music and the style of content they host and have built themselves on.

It's like a museum covering nude statues. Fuck off with that shit, let people decide what they want.

Because he can radicalize others with his injurious philosophy. Take a step from Germany. They didn't worry about martyring Nazis because they outlawed Nazi shit. If your best argument for me denying a racist a platform is that other racists will be sad, then it's pretty unconvincing. People will follow him if he has a platform or if he is denied one. At least denying him one hurts his ability to spread crap.
