lmao The "far right" doesn't dominate the internet OP.

Stop reading the Huffington Post.

Would I be right in saying that standard corporate apathy to anything that doesn't make them short-term profits is another factor in this? Google, Twitter, and Facebook are noted for being reluctant to do anything about making sure that fascists get removed from their site unless they have considerable monetary pressure to do so. poo poo, Google banning anyone on YouTube associated with the alt-right alone would be a good way to prevent these ideals from spreading. Yet, I've reported dozens of neo-Nazi channels and I don't think a single one has been removed despite them being pretty obviously National Socialists. Hell, one even had swastikas all over his drat background and he's still kicking, last I checked.

Social media tech companies recently just banned a lot of "alt-right" accounts. Now Facebook is doing this thing where anyone can label something "fake news." Google, Facebook, and Twitter were pretty open about supporting Hillary Clinton as well.

Pretty much. Right-leaning platforms are a tiny minority.

They just seem common because left-leaning outlets will breathlessly repeat anything they say.

Take the KKK. They have about 5,000 members and 71,300,000 google results.

This is it right here. Just look at Richard Spencer. He did a nazi salute with a loving martini and it got wall-to-wall worldwide coverage for a week. His organization doesn't even have 100 members. Don't tell me these people aren't consciously using the idiocy of the leftist media to promote their own platforms.
