> Taking away diversity of political thought is an incredibly dangerous thing.
Equity of content isn't a practical goal. Any view can be split infinitely into sub-viewpoints. Diversity, in this context, cannot be enforced without setting limitations on discourse. All platforms (including reality, where proximity is a limitation) of speech suffer from this. Pragmatically, modal groupings form, appealing to human mental models. Humans choose to throw away diversity of political thought to focus on more immediate needs and goals. It's a borderline tautological statement that all human political activity is "dangerous" because humans are "dangerous".
