@JohnPhilpin At the time, perhaps a year ago, I found Substacks that amplified hate speech and read widely about many Substacks that were sympathetic to the far right. Most importantly, there was evidence that the owners of Substack invited far-right posters, even paying some of them to post. I opposed the owners’ assertion that they bore no responsibility for the content posted on Substack. This is a big issue, of course, with all platforms now. I left Facebook for the same reason. And I’m close to closing my X account for the same reason. Many writers I admire are on Substack and I read their Substacks. It’s a thorny issue.
