- gruez 3y ago>The alt-right deplatforming started after Trump was elected Your use of "deplatforming" seems refer to people/communities/organizations getting kicked off sites or commercial service providers, but the comment I replied to was arguing "To debate a Nazi is to give them a platform" which is a broader set of actions. Maybe "deplatforming" is the wrong word to use here, but "refusing to engage alt-right people in debate or giving them recognition" far predates trump's election. >Most of the research into the matter has said that deplatforming has worked pretty well, actually. Source? By what metric?
