Yes. If I were running Discord and learned that there was some Klan group advocating hate against black people, I'd shut it down – even if everyone in that chat was fine with the discussion.

It wouldn't be beneficial to me to have my platform be a host for that content, and it's not beneficial to society for me to facilitate hateful people easily connecting with each other.

The problem is that what's beneficial to society is not always clear-cut.

Of course, but I'm feeling bold enough to state that the hypothetical Klan-member Discord server would not be beneficial to society.

And back then, hypothetical ancient discord would have said the same about homosexuality.
