kathy griffen posted a photo of herself with a severed donald trump head. i mean cnn did ask her not to attend a new years Eve party but shouldn't she be deplatformed?

the deplatforming policy is impossible to define and will be enforced arbitrarily. it's going to satisfy no one.

And she was suspended for that.

She has reposted since being suspended and apparently it's okay now.

I think "accompanied by actual physical acts of violence related to said speech" is a pretty decently high bar, that this incident clears.

Until you have an incident you actually, rather than hypothetically, object to, why do you assume Amazon is going to aggressively deplatform software platforms? They have a pretty clear financial incentive not to.
