While it doesn't violate your argument (freedom of association) I'm less happy about how this isn't specifically about what's published in Medium: the criteria is specific individuals:
"We do not allow posts or accounts that engage in on-platform, off-platform"
It's the "off-platform" part that bothers me about such policies.
Thought experiment: Would Medium ban Henry Kissinger, were he to open an account?
- wombatpm 9y agoOnly if he was charged with war crimes.
- bmcusick 9y agoI am completely, 100% cool with banning people based on "off platform" activity. I know that making Nazi comparisons is cliché, but would you allow a Nazi on your platform even if he only did Nazi stuff off your platform? I wouldn't. There a larger number of people I can amicably disagree with. I'd be unable to function professionally or socially if that weren't the case. But there are limits, and that's fine and good.
