    Never heard of it, but isn’t it the case that if it is shut down, that group of people will just move elsewhere as they have before?

      Correct. And the only choice from then is to continue deplatforming them even further. Bigots and abusers don’t deserve to have a voice

      Every time you deplatform a group, it generally shrinks by about 10%. Keep doing it enough and eventually you have a group that’s JUST the diehards, and that group is generally so small that they’ll burn themselves out.
