Hi Dave - This was my first time reading your newsletter. Thank TCinLA for the suggestion. I took you and Tom's suggestion and wrote the following email (borrowing heavily from yours, but with emphasis on "stochastic terrorism):

Substack:

Your own Terms of Use state:

"Substack cannot be used to publish content or fund initiatives that incite violence based on protected classes. Offending behavior includes credible threats of physical harm to people based on their race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability or medical condition."

You are currently hosting (and monetizing) numerous hate groups and individuals who are or were part of them. Those individuals/groups often practice "stochastic terrorism" by way of their hateful words and images. That "stochastic terrorism," in turn, often results in violence against people. Examples include Andkons Reich Press, White-Papers, Turning Point Stocks, The Tribalist, People's Initiative of New England, and sites that speak about the "Jewish Question." Sites with which Richard Spencer or Patrick Casey are affiliated have frequently espoused hate speech against non-White and Jewish peoples (e.g., Geniuses, in their most consequential forms, appear predominantly among Aryans orbited by successful Jews absolutely is trafficking in hate speech).

Please use your First Amendment right NOT to publish hate speech and enforce your own Terms of Use by shutting down people who openly espouse Nazism, fascism, violence in any form or discrimination against any person or group of people based on their skin color, race, religious beliefs, sex, social relationships or party affiliations.

Thank you.
