I see what you mean now; your wording was ambiguous, specifically “do”.

anyone impersonating gestapo would post anything worse than they already do

sounds like you’re saying ‘would post anything worse than they already post’.

You haven’t been on the Internet very long, huh?

they’re platforming and subsequently legitimising them.

You could make that argument about them being allowed to have an account at all, but simply marking that account in such a way that informs the userbase that it’s not a troll/parody account or something, but the actual organization?

That doesn’t “platform” them, they’re already on the platform at the time this happened. And confirming that something asserted to be true, is in fact true, is a good thing.

It’s basically giving uncle Sam a list of targets to hit next.

How, exactly? Even if you use your real name as your username (which no one does), unless it’s very uncommon, that still won’t uniquely identify you.

What an idiotic article, from the headline down.

Locally replacing some letters with some other letters is going to make Microsoft’s CEO cry? Really?

Also, I’ll not be using Chrome, lol.
