Donald Trump[edit]
In a January 2021 interview with De Morgen, Raemdonck said of then-U.S. President Donald Trump getting banned from several social media platforms that "There is no one-size-fits-all solution to remove hate speech. Simply removing a profile is never the big solution. Trump is a very special case, because you have a leader who lost the election and nevertheless stirred up the masses. That's why I think it's a good decision."[3]
Gab[edit]
In a March 2021 interview with The Daily Dot, Raemdonck said of the launch of Gab, a social network known for its far-right userbase, that "It’s not necessarily that Gab rewarded the best content, or punished the worst, but does it reward what the group thinks" and that "Because the people on the platform were already terrible, they needed engaging conversations to stimulate each other, so it became a circlejerk to the bottom."[2] She also noted of Gab that "The fact that they portrayed themselves as a free-speech platform attracts a certain crowd".[2]
