Nazis hate bans because bans work.

Bans on Gab-style sites contain extremists to isolated enclaves where they have a much harder time recruiting new members. The enclaves remain small, obscure, irrelevant.

Bans make life harder for Nazi movements, bans shrink them and weaken them.

By contrast, public debates make life easier for Nazis, their profile is raised, their reputation legitimised and their membership grows.
