So, if you have Group A and Group B, each claiming the other is doing horrible, offensive things, which group gets deplatformed?

Since I can't legitimately reply yet, consider this a reply:

So, would that be Hezbollah or Shas?

The subset of both groups actually doing the horrible, offensive things. Treating entire groups as a unit rather than as individuals is part of the problem, at least for any group not specifically defined by their intolerance.

which is all very well, except we're talking about deplatforming entire online communities, not merely individuals.

Entire communities which are 1) led by people who are themselves causing such problems (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18366322) and 2) utterly failing to deal with any such problems on their platforms.
