How is this news?

It's literally a blog post.

It appears the community isn't exclusively for news.

The sidebar agrees with you:

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.

Corporations don’t aggressively moderate and ban Nazis on their platforms because it would measurably negative affect their MAU stats, which is one of the primary metrics social media corps report on how “good” (read: profitable) their social network platform is.

Meta et al. will NEVER intentionally remove users that push engagement numbers up (regardless of how or what topics are being engaged) unless:

  • they determine it’s more profitable/less harmful to their business to do so
  • they are forced to by a court order
