X permanently suspended author Gil Durán for calling a Palantir post “fascist.” Durán wrote the book The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War on Democracy. Yesterday he said the Palantir CEO posted a fascist manifesto on X. His account was gone within hours. This is the “free speech” platform.
