NPI currently has two events listed on the Eventbrite platform. When asked about whether Eventbrite would take a similar stance if the Ku Klux Klan or a neo-Nazi organization were using their services in a similar fashion, a representative from the press team declined to comment and instead reiterated that NPI was within the bounds of Eventbrite’s terms of service. Apparently linking to the NPI site is well within the bounds of acceptable behavior. Per the organization’s terms of service agreement, Eventbrite will only take action should any racially or ethnically objectionable content is “uploaded, posted, emailed, transmitted, or otherwise made available” through their platform. That is to say, Eventbrite is happy to help promote and sell tickets to an event that is aimed at indoctrinating millennials into an ideology that seeks to create a white ethnostate and openly promotes lies about minority groups, so long as they aren’t openly advertising their beliefs in the event description. We strive to allow organizers of all walks of life to create and host events, as long as they are not in violation of our Terms of Service and the information provided on the Eventbrite platform for this event abides by our community guidelines.” Eventbrite seeks to bring people together through live experiences. “After careful review, we feel that this event that was published on Eventbrite is not in violation of our Terms of Service. The National Policy Institute (NPI), a leading white nationalist “think tank” that is particularly popular among younger racists, has been cleared under the company’s Terms of Service by a member of the Eventbrite Trust and Safety team.Īfter being contacted by Hatewatch about the organization’s usage of the platform to promote its semi-annual events at the National Press Club in Washington D.C., Eventbrite responded with the following statement:
As a result he was removed from Eventbrite in November 2016 and he is no longer permitted to benefit directly from the platform’s services. A review of the events surrounding and within the NPI Annual Conference last year led to a determination that Richard Spencer violated these Terms. Update, November 2017: Eventbrite’s Trust & Safety team regularly monitors and reviews certain content that could be in violation of our Terms of Service.
