I think this is one of the more interesting and important debates of our time. As so much moves online, we realize that our speech belongs to these huge companies.
On one hand, it's great to see these toxic people kicked off, because deplatforming them works wonders in terms of stopping them from spreading their hate.
I think most of us have some doubts as to how it might play out in the future, though, and there are of course questions about how healthy it is for such huge corporations to have that much sway in the first place.
There are all kinds of other shenanigans going on with many of these companies too:
