What a load of dog dung that article is. Justifying censorship, labelling everything that is not liked by some politicial "expert" as far right extreme.
When an algorithm is involved, things change. These aren't static websites that only get passed around by real people. This is some bizarre pseudo intelligence that thinks if you like WWII history and bratwurst, that you'd also like neo-nazi content. That's not an exaggeration.
