A Heretic's Guide to Deplatforming

I wonder how many of the people arguing for the good of deplatforming have, in other circumstances, argued that internet access is a human right. Also, those denying that internet access is a human right decrying deplatforming. It’s interesting the interaction between those two ideas.

Internet access is not the same as forcing somebody else to host your content. I think most people can tell the difference.

I was unaware that having access to the internet meant a one-way pipe.

I guess you’ve got a right to read email, but not write it; read wikipedia, but not contribute; etc.
