    Last week, the previously unknown individual behind a popular neo-Nazi web comic known as Stonetoss was identified on Twitter/X by antifascist researchers from the Anonymous Comrades Collective. This was followed by a concentrated campaign by Twitter/X staff to suppress any post on the website that revealed the alleged name of Stonetoss— with journalists, researchers, and the antifascist collective themselves all being targeted with suspensions and account locks. The campaign was personally requested by Stonetoss to Twitter/X owner Elon Musk, who has been under fire as of late for positively engaging with and defending countless other neo-Nazi accounts as well.

    I can see how this might violate some policy against doxxing individuals, but it’s remarkable how consistently Elon Musk just happens to find himself defending neo-Nazis while silencing the left.
