At what point does it constitute 'deplatforming'? If I sign up and behave like a jackass with 1 subscriber, and get banned, am I still being 'deplatformed'?

Prescriptive easements usually kick in after frequent use for a certain time period, e.g. five years is typical, but if you have a long gap of inactivity (e.g, more than one year) the calendar can reset, the five year time starts over.

Ok, that wasn't the case for us on TripAdvisor. I'm sure digital squatters rights have yet to be successfully applied online. If Jones' message has genuine value, his followers will watch him elsewhere. I suspect it has very superficial entertainment value and most won't.

Yes it's an "there ought to be a law" argument, even though making analogies to current law, it's not a "there is a law" argument.
