The article is largely about removing flagrantly racist content (the subreddits they listed as examples were like r/KKK and r/CoonTown) and various illegal content like bestiality videos. It seems disingenuous to classify these as simply "different political orientation".

As much I disagree with racists, I believe that a healthy society must allow them to speak.

I tried to find a quote from Dershowitz’s book on defending Nazis but gave up due to paywall.

Toxic is not an objective measure for speech. But like in real life, toxicity depends on the dose. Life doesn’t eliminate toxins, it reduces them to manageable levels (or dies).

There’s also the practical effect that banning is irreversible. Toxicity is not terminal, but banning doesn’t allow for redemption.

agreed. but consider how the people being banned will see things.

i don't suggest we cater to them, just that we realize their way of thinking and reacting.
