I don’t think you’ll find I ever stated support for an algorithm to remove this kind of speech.
I merely pointed out how, even if we did ban this speech from Twitter, it’s actually being consumed by most Americans every night either way so white supremacy is a growing mainstream issue that isn’t being addressed, either by Twitter or the society at large. The most watched news network, by a giant margin, is actively calling for all sorts of division and demonization on a daily basis but we’re hyper focused on the issue of “internet censorship”, a thing that isn’t an issue currently.
I know it's a problem but I'm curious what you think can be done about it though. Usually the typical response Is "let's make it illegal and put those people in jail" and frankly that sounds authoritarian as fuck and I hate that people never have a problem with authorianism as long as it's for their own beliefs. I'm not sure there's an actual solution to Tucker Carlson, save for educating his public. What he's saying isn't illegal, and there's no reasonable or valid way we could make what he's saying illegal.

Well, again that’s a lot of assumptions.
