Is there some research or theories about the shadow cancel ngo or whoever coordinates the deplatforming?
Considering how slow and unrespobsive big corporates usually are, there must be some real power broker behind it. Deplatformings usually all happen within the same day in a few hours. Last example is probably the deplatfoeming of Andrew Tate.
- Duwensatzaj 4y agoBased on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JournoList https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JournoList and http://ggwiki.deepfreeze.it/index.php/GameJournoPros http://ggwiki.deepfreeze.it/index.php/GameJournoPros I doubt it’s a power broker, just a group of moderators from different companies who work together. Google Groups aren’t as popular nowadays. My guess is a private Discord.
- rndgermandude 4y agoMy guess is that when such high profile cancellations happen, it's more of a matter of perceived zugzwang. Some platform does a high profile ban, and then the PR inboxes of the other platforms are set ablaze with journalists asking for comment on how your particular platform wants to handle that person - high profile bans make nice clickbait articles after all - and the twitters and reddits and youtubers and so on of this world talk about what those other platforms are doing/are not doing/should be doing. At this point the other platforms have to do something, either issue a ban as well, or issue some kind of statement why at this time they won't be issuing a ban. Usually the option to just issue a ban as well is a lot easier and PR-wise "safe" than trying to come up with a "defensive" statement of why such a ban is not (yet) appropriate.
