Where does the slogan “no debate” come from? Does anyone know when it was first used and how it caught on? And is it completely unprecedented for a new social movement to demand acquiescence without argument, or has anyone tried this before?
In the United States, Ed Wilson got into a bit of trouble because of Sociobiology. There was certainly pressure to deplatform - not sure it ever quite happened (the story of a pitcher of water being thrown over him is apparently exaggerated).

The American Anthropological Association also has a fairly dubious history with regards to this sort of thing (again probably doesn't quite reach the bar of deplatforming). So the reaction to Derek Freeman's Mead book; & the Chagnon & Neel affair.
