Well they do now, after tens of thousands of alt-right fucks marched in the streets, public figures got assaulted or killed etc. for the longest time the German police did approximately fuck-all about them.

Interconnect
Supercomputer nodes are usually connected using 100-200 Gbit/s fabrics with latencies in the microsecond range. That's pretty expensive and requires a lot of power, too, but it allows you to treat a supercomputer much more like one Really Big Computer (and previous generations of supercomputers were indeed SSI - Single System Image - systems) instead of A Bunch Of Servers. Simulations like Really Big Computers instead of A Bunch Of Servers. On an ELI5 level something like a weather simulation will divide the world into many regions and each node of a supercomputer handles one region. Interactions between regions are handled through the interconnect, so it's really important for performance.
