Because the person was denied speech. Because lots of people came to hear her and then couldn't. I can't agree at all that it doesn't matter what they wanted to hear because the ideas exist elsewhere. And if it is effective in silencing dissident thinkers, this is hardly good!https://twitter.com/HereInThere/status/971365538109775872 …

I guess maybe I'll just have to rethink the position. In my mind, when a prevalent idea is established across many actors and platforms, I see no reason why interrupting an event constitutes infringement of free speech. Especially considering the history of effective protests.
