By constructing the mechanism by which one may deny a bad guy any platform, you now have a mechanism that may be used to deny any other kind of person a platform. Such a thing is more dangerous than any individual bad guy, and will--very ironically--eventually fall into the hands of a person as bad or worse than that bad guy you were trying to stifle in the first place. Censorship cannot triumph over evil, because it is evil in itself. The only reasonable counter is constant vigilance and tireless opposition. Furtive, deceitful whispers in the shadows call for floodlights and truth. Open demonstrations call for larger counter-demonstrations. The effective counter to objectionable speech is not censorship, but speaking the objection. |
