As it is worded you can't discriminate against nazis and racists either.

You can discriminate all you want, you just can't harass, bully, violate privacy or threaten violence.

I think you can't read it too literally. Otherwise you also can't discriminate against "people who wrote their comment later" and so you can never stop reading the comments for fear of discriminating between "early comment writers" and "late comment writers".

Literal is the only way these things are supposed to be read.

They could easily fix it by saying "groups (except for those that promote discrimination and/or hate such as nazis and racists)"

I just replied this to another commenter, but that's a bad faith argument. The ToS also says to not engage in illegal activity. The admonishment of Nazi's and Racists is an admonishment of illegal evil.

Being a Nazi is not illegal in most jurisdictions. It certainly wasn't illegal in Nazi Germany.

Bruh I hate to break this to you but nearly all governments are racist. Have you not heard of what the US did to black people for 300 years?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago

Uh, the US has vetoed multiple attempts by the UN to condemn the glorification of Nazis. I hate to break it to you, but Nazis and racists are not illegal.
