But in the end, it's unrealistic. It's taking a true principle and overapplying it as a form of rhetoric.


It's entirely realistic. Shutting down people who waffle on with no investigation is very easy just by asking how they reached those conclusions and asking to see the data. For the private venue sphere, it's entirely reasonable to collectively deplatform people who spread misinformation — just look at what happened with Richard Spencer after one or two venues cancelled on him.
