Twitter is full of hostility, threats, doxxing, and violent comments. As well. Justice would have that banned, or nothing banned.
The call of journalists wanting to shut down, regulate and censor is deeply disturbing. One argument is that these are mainstream media outlets (NYT, WP, Fox, MSNBC, etc.) up against and wanting to use various "unassailable" arguments to shut down alternative new media.
When we call for banning things, we should not just look at how bad and awful the stuff we're asking to be banned is (even if it is absolutely terrible), but what are the long-term consequences for stuff-that-isn't-harmful but simply alternative once the precedent has been set.
