I mean, Facebook just suspended Trump, so it seems like we are doing something, we’re just arguing about where the lines should be. I don’t think it’s wrong to note that revolutionary ideas both good and bad come from the fringes and that some consequential positive influences might be deplatformed in the future. This is one of the few times in history the “good guys” have had the power to control the narrative. We should acknowledge that.

Many comments are arguing saying this already crossed the line and that FB are not the good guys here.

There are (or were) comments on this page with people saying they deleted their Facebook accounts over this.

Of course I disagree and find it hilariously ironic that this would be the straw that broke the camel's back, but that's just me.
