More piggybacking on this post, because Banned Book Week recently concluded.

In my experience, there is a ton of overlap between people who get worked up about not banning books and those who are very gung ho about deplatforming anything they don't like.

It's like, dude . . . what do you think deplatforming is?

It's the same thing.
