Now they're taking responsibility for editing content, we can assume they implicitly endorse anything they haven't banned, right?

That doesn't follow, does it? I sense you're being sarcastic to some extent, but I'm not sure to what end, specifically.
Yes I'm being sarcastic and should make more effort to actually communicate. Thanks.

I'm just pissed off by how many people embrace this shit with no notion of the principles that whizzed past while they were having a 2 minute hate against Nazis. Sure they weren't well served and this is just a public embrace of the biases that have already been in place. They were important though.

The guy who runs a printing press should not take pride in refusing jobs for people he doesn't like, should he? Is his service, which has social impact beyond his neighborhood, supposed to be available to all or would it be a bad thing if he decides not to print newsletters for nazis, or blacks, or this or that church because their doctrine is wrong... None of these are new issues and we've thrashed this shit out before.

I indulge in sarcasm because its quicker. sorry.

They're only removing content that's "bad" along certain axes. They can still disagree with remaining content for other reasons.
