<< I spent a good part of 2 years reporting on ISIS internet and how the group uses social media — in 2019 it's mind-boggling to me how well the coordinated cross-platform effort to remove them from the internet worked and how there hasn't been a similar one for white supremacists.>>
ISIS vs white supremacist internet
<< From a 2016 @gwupoe report on Twitter extremism: "The white nationalist datasets examined outperformed ISIS in most current metrics and many historical metrics. White nationalists and Nazis had substantially higher follower counts than ISIS supporters, and tweeted more often.">>

@natecull I think it's to do with the 'rulers' of those platforms being white cishet males. It explains so much, and I hate it!
re: ISIS vs white supremacist internet
ISIS's usage of western #technology is functional to hurt the western states and culture, recruiting weak people to use as cheap weapons and so on.
There's nothing the US controlled corporations can get from ISIS people... not even much intelligence as they are generally trained to not leak data or trust "the evil empire".
