Deplatforming is a political strategy to silence the opposition. So-called "hate speech" is the excuse.

Sam Harris Drops Patreon - Other Creators Follow
The gatekeepers discriminate based on political ideology. When conservatives try to set up alternatives to sites like Patreon, financial gatekeepers pull the plug. There is no doubt that this is illegal discrimination, but the gatekeepers have a huge amount of influence and defeating them is very difficult.

BTW, Jimmy Dore calls a guy named Fabio a fucking idiot.

Banned By Patreon | Let The Witch Hunt Begin
Very troubling trend. Very scary and reminiscent of what happened in Germany leading up to WWII. Repression of ideas is a serious warning sign of things to come.

Patreon Problem and Solution: Dave Rubin and Jordan Peterson
These guys are trying to develop a solution to the problem, but there are many obstacles in the form of libtards who want to block the expression of all opposing viewpoints.

The Patreon Debacle: There’s More Going on Here
I'm not a religious nut, but I did read the book of Revelations and this sounds an awful lot like the idea presented there that during the reign of the Antichrist that only approved people would be allowed to engage in commerce. Anyone who voices decent to the progressive orthodoxy will be unable to engage in commerce. The first step is deplatforming outspoken individuals, but what's to stop them from revoking credit cards and freezing assets of even individuals supporting those people?

Youtube to Actively Suppress "Borderline" and "Conspiracy" Content
For many people YouTube is a primary source of information. If YouTube suppresses certain points of view, then we're talking information control.

You Can Trust Them Now
Yet another trick to suppress the truth and to help spread propaganda while pretending to be fighting against fake news.

YouTube Filters At It Again: Pokemon YouTubers Have Accounts Nuked Over Child Porn Discussions That Weren't Occurring
If you're going to delete entire accounts over something, you should at the least be accurate in your assessment of the supposed violation which has occurred.
It’s believed the error occurred thanks to their video’s continued use of the term “CP”, which in Pokemon GO refers to “Combat Points”, but which YouTube’s algorithm assumed was “Child Pornography”.

And in any case I assume that it is possible to have a legitimate discussion of issues surrounding child pornography from quite a number of points of view without violating any terms of service agreements.
