I know we’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, but I don’t know how you can look at Milo and still argue that “platforming and beating in debate” is more powerful than de-platforming
I didn’t expect this to go nuts but I’m on holiday visiting my mom who lives on a different continent so I’m going to mostly stop replying. I‘d like to add that I write about this for a living so if you’re about to reply explaining social media/online radicalisation to me: don’t
I don't think there's much doubt that de-platforming can be a powerful way to silence people, the hard question is when/whether we should seek to silence people (albeit not that hard in Milo's case).
I am sadly on holiday and not prepared to engage in a twitter debate about whether or not racists should be allowed to shitpost on Facebook
I think that’s a good argument, but places the power almost entirely with social media platforms - basically until YouTube ban them I think exposing their hypocrisy is a good move.
Yes! I write about this for a living. But television is still powerful tool in and of itself and doubly powerful when it becomes a ready made video for social mediahttps://twitter.com/sarahmanavis/status/1126835204381970434?s=21 …
Never in my life have I seen a public debate so completely and utterly settled by the evidence
Can't be absolutely reasoned. Affect (and not a little history) suggests that if push came to shove, today's neoconservative curators of free speech would be the first to deny it to others.
Precisely.
Who's Milo?
Because de-platforming made him a sensation and famous in countries around the world. It was what he said that finished him. He was beaten by free speech.
he is literally bankrupt and severely in debt because of deplatforming
