The people at @YouTube @TeamYouTube made the right call in banning white supremacist James Allsup. Allsup attended the 2017 "Unite the Right" rally where a white supremacist murdered a woman and wounded dozens of others.https://www.thedailybeast.com/gop-ejects-charlottesville-hate-marcher-james-allsup-after-daily-beast-expose …

Why not shut down his ideas with better ones? Censorship of political opponents is never a good idea. You want radicalization? Because that’s how you get it.

Actually the opposite is true.

This actually flies right in the face of the first amendment. When someone feels like their rights are being infringed, you bet they’ll radicalize. When you are guaranteed a right in the Constitution and it is taken away from you, you bet you’ll be rash and act accordingly.

They're not guaranteed a right to a social media platform! Again, this is not a First Amendment right! And platforms like YouTube are built to radicalize so we ought to be making their content harder to access:https://datasociety.net/output/alternative-influence/ …

Again, it’s about the perception of those censored. If they believe their rights are being infringed, they may radicalize and drag others who may have been fans down with them.

Maybe but I don't see evidence for that. People are radicalizing and murdering people and there's still white nationalist propaganda on YouTube and Twitter.
