> What does "viewpoint" mean?
A trending example might be the viewpoint that British colonisation was an act of "settlement" vs "invasion". On one hand it can be argued that life improved for indigenous populations with the arrival of technology. On the other hand it can be argued those populations suffered and are owed compensation.
Choosing one or the other core viewpoint can lead to polarizing branches, such as celebrating the Queen's death with hateful tweets vs acknowledging the Queen's death with respectful mourning.
Both viewpoints can draw on valid arguments and data. Banning one of those viewpoints is not a good plan. It would be unhealthy for any society to ban a viewpoint because it conflicts with political agendas or the views of the owners of the platform.
