MODERATORS
It's just another variant of the paradox of tolerance.
I'm very consistent in my views, I do not tolerate anyone being de-platformed. I am intolerant of de-platforming. I do not tolerate anyone trying to remove the voice of anyone else.
I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be unwise. - Poppel The Open Society and It's Enemies
De-platforming is a form of rhetorical suppression, as OPs article points out.
Which means that you tolerate intolerance.
The saying goes that you can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.
De-platforming is a means to show that the platform doesn't want to be associated with specific content. Being against de-platforming means you are on the side of forced speech.
I've never heard the term forced speech before, the only references I can find are legal referring to compelled testimony in court. Can you give me a reference so I can better understand you?
The saying goes that you can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.
I'm afraid I missed that part of Open Society, my understanding is the intolerance of tolerance was making it criminal to have calls to violence, at least as I understood the book.
Finna deplatform you right now with the block button, babes π
Sorry to have offended you. I didn't mean to cause you distress.
