> Booting people off of platforms merely reinforces their pre-existing beliefs, and further radicalizes them. This is just not true. Or rather, it may be true, but it is entirely irrelevant. We as a society don't care who radicalised David Icke is. It just doesn't matter. What matters is that letting him spread his misinformation causes harm and death. Actual people die because of this. And that can be stopped by denying him a platform. If it makes him more angry, that is absolutely irrelevant.
