Verifucation was intended as a way of distinguishing the actual profiles of famous people from fake ones. If twitter has now decided that they can dis-verify people for saying things they don't like, then twitter is implicitly endorsing the views of anyone who still has the check mark. So, good luck with that.

Also, contra this article, Richard Spencer, whatever his flaws may be, is not a neo-Nazi. He's certainly a white nationalist, and may possibly be a white supremacist, but he's not a neo-Nazi, and people really should stop trying to use these terms interchangeably.
