But according to you, bans have nothing to do with it. You call people authoritarian even without them calling for any bans.

And you ARE saying "stop expressing those ideas" - those ideas, in this case, being petitions to dis-invite speakers.

@barrydeutsch I make this argument against banning, no-platforming. Other ppl counter that protecting ppl's feelings more important.pic.twitter.com/wWpmSrqN0x

I agree with all of this. I just disagree that someone who has been disinvited from a uni has been denied their right to speak.

I'm not sure what you mean. We both know they can speak elsewhere. That's not the point.
