I'm no fan of Musk but deplatforming doesn't work. On the contrary, it fans the flames of extremist thought and drives adherents closer together in shared adversity. This is easily googleable: I'm not sure how you managed to convince yourself of its efficacy. You will never eliminate negative elements in society through repression. It doesn't work if humans do it to themselves, it most certainly doesn't work when humans do it to others. Compassionate action is the only resolutely effective method. We can see this in prisons that practice remedial action vs punitive and even in day to day life conversing with others. When has punishing hate with hate ever worked throughout all of human history? The very idea is ludicrous. If I discharge a flamethrower on a forest fire, what do you expect will happen? Dudes (looking at you Buddha) living thousands of years ago told us this and we're still playing these same games of self-delusion.
