is this a rhetorical question?

Yes, the article is meant to expose that the rules of X literally don't prevent pro Nazi content. And history falsification is also allowed.
The second part is illegal in many countries. Even if Nazi propaganda is legal, which it also isn't in some countries.

Almost everything on X is pro Nazi content. How is this different?

Well for one denial of holocaust is illegal in many countries. Often under wider rules that falsification of historical facts is illegal.

EU should ban Xitter, because it's a channel for history falsification and hate speech.

That sounds nice. I wish it was like that here.

If you are in USA, I seriously wish so too, because the latrine that is the debate in USA is flowing over to the rest of the world.

A law to prevent spreading false history may sound good but I fear it's not a good solution. In bad hands the law can instead can attack history to promote a false one. If an inconvenient truth happens to looks like the dribble a Holocaust denier would say then good hands may punish an otherwise good person, promoting a different incorrect history.

I'm convinced I cannot trust anyone to judge - for me - what I should be able to read/hear. There must be better ways to defeat Nazism ideology.

Deleted twitter at least 10 years ago. I assume it's become a lot worse but is the vast majority of it really pro Nazi?

That’s what I hear. I deleted my Twitter many years ago, too. Although, it was still pretty bad then

One you can blame the users. This one falls squarely on Xhitter corporate.
