I agree with the article but I can only note, once more, that it is from The Guardian, who did run multiple articles in support of no-platforming in universities. But look who comes crying about freedom of inquiry now, once said "erosion of integrity" is done by right-wing bureaucrats. But the no-platforming happens mostly in the US, while government interferences is happening in the UK, so they will probably get away with their double standard one more time.

Whenever the theme turns a little bit orange on the Guardian, you're reading an opinion, there are lots of opinion columnists at the Guardian and many of them have differing views. If you want a more consistent view from the Guardian, then stay in the news sections (the theme is red for that), this case, the opinion is by a professor at the University of Cambridge, it's not an unbiased report from a journalist.

Guardian have run lots of articles saying that no-platforming is bad, but also telling people that no-platforming isn't really that common. Many of the so-called no-platforming events either didn't happen, or didn't happen in the way they were reported.
