The SPLC is a [hate group that has triggered violent attacks and causes people to fear for their lives](https://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/2015/06/splc-issues-hit-list-of-u-s-women-against-sharia-law/). I have nothing but contempt for them. They have a net worth of $250+ million and sue anyone they disagree with into oblivion. They actively [harm Christian charities by labeling them hate groups and reduce their incoming donations](http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/05/04/amazon-drops-christian-non-profit-from-donations-program-after-splc-declares-it-a-hate-group/). They need to have their power and influence removed
How might you suggest one remove their power and influence when they have so much of it?
That's the million dollar question. The SPLC and ADL are the gatekeepers all of big tech are using. Social media, search engines, hosting services, grocery sellers, etc give them unfettered access to censorship on their platforms. The only thing that could be done at this point is not supporting corporations that utilize them, help build alt tech. Use Phuks instead of reddit, stop using Google products entirely (OSM+ for maps, protonmail for mail, even bing for search), use gab instead of Twitter, shop local instead of Amazon. The robber barons are back, they're funding the SPLC.

Great post, Mario. Well done indeed.
My thoughts on the SPLC are that they probably started out with good intentions but went sideways pretty quickly and pretty far. They pretty much exist now to slander anyone who doesn't toe the line.
