They have been discouraged from making threats, being racist, etc. If that is their two cents, it's not worth two cents. If they can't have a civil discussion without threats, racism, bigotry, etc, again, it's not worth two cents. This is they key, they KEEP coming back with vile speech. No one deplatforms them for simply having DIFFERENT opinions, they're deplatformed for having violent, racist, bigoted opinions. You can't equate silencing dissent from not tolerating hate speech.
