Substack has removed several publications for inciting violence, the newsletter publisher said in a statement shared with CNN Tuesday, as writers from across the platform threaten to quit over the presence of pro-Nazi content.

Although the platform has explicit guidelines banning content that incites violence, a November article in The Atlantic pointed out at least 16 different newsletters with Nazi symbols, as well as many more supporting far-right extremism, leading to calls for change from many Substack authors and a refusal from leadership.

    Thanks for taking your time to do the absolute bare minimum, Substack!

      After Casey Newton, founder of Substack tech news publication Platformer, flagged a list of publications violating content guidelines to the company, Substack says it is removing five.

      None of the nixed newsletters have paid subscribers and, in total, account for about 100 active readers, according to the company.

        I saw. I would call “We removed five Nazis” the bare minimum.
