It depends if the de-platforming is happening for reasons of social outrage / offense (bad) or commercial reasons (maybe not 'good' but at least 'better').

If it's about this particular industry sub-group having a much-higher-than-normal rate of fraud or returns or buyers remorse or whatever causes more hassle to PayPal's processes than they're worth, then that makes commercial sense.

it's mostly about ill-conceived laws intended to protect vulnerable people, which in fact harm those exact people

A lot of the laws were simply passed under the guise of helping people but were in fact passed to further peoples moral agendas. Easy tell that's the case when data comes along that contradicts the laws efficacy..

I don't even think people are differentiating that much about deplatforming. I am fine if the sentiment growth that thinks'those bad corporation have too much power and can't just start banning users without a clear cause'. The free speech issue is to narrow.
