The same “slippery slope” argument that’s used to defend GPL3’s extraordinary licensing reach and “don’t let anyone search your phone” activism applies here as well.
Is it a slippery slope from Milo to White Supremacy? Yes. Does WS endorse violence towards others? Yes. Therefore, is it dangerous to others to give Milo a platform? Yes.
If you don’t believe in slippery slope arguments, that’s your right, but there’s quite a lot of sociology contradicting you, and the various internet platforms are realizing that the sociology (and memeticists) were probably right all along.
