Shut them up, they said:

Dr. Kay Coghill, during a conversation at the conference, advocated for silencing those who hold conservative or Republican views. “I think a solution that will really disrupt capitalism, honestly, is deplatforming people and deplatforming people and making specific websites, forums, whatever, illegal and actually having consequences, material consequences,” she said. Coghill further insisted that after deplatforming her political opponents, they should keep them banned instead of “being like Elon Musk and letting Trump and Milo Yiannopoulos get back on Twitter now that he owns it.” She further highlighted the importance of “making sure people do not have access to these social media websites and forums that allow them to perpetuate and push this information in digital spaces, because that’s where the youth is getting this information from.” Patrick Hermansson from Hope Not Hate chimed in, agreeing with Coghill’s sentiments. “I spent my whole career doing deplatforming. It’s like the core strategy we do,” he said. “But even I’m getting more and more skeptical of it because they have their own platforms and … it’s very hard to control them.”

Darn that free speech...
