@ska @dalias @futurebird @mattmcirvin Deplatforming is really important to reducing the availability of bad information. Big impacts around Twitter decisions, for example: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/01/16/misinformation-trump-twitter/

Deplatforming is great until it happens to you
@futurebird I largely agree, deplatforming isnt inherently good or bad, it depends on who is the target.
I do think there is legitimate concern that deplatforming is frivilous and abusive right now from both sides in many cases. That said im not sure deplatofrming is the issue, its more of a symptom. The real issue is just the toxic polarization we have in society that is causing cancel culture from both ends on everything under the sun.
