Right, but when you do this to a topic that isn’t causing harm, you risk incurring a Streisand Effect and you don’t have the moral standing that you do with things like anti-vax or COVID deniers. So masses of people can end up sharing flat earth material just to spite you and your overzealous moderation.
You can try point to the alt-right recruitments all you like, but people will point you straight back at your conservatism or Christianity topics.
People are allowed to be wrong or even be idiots. When they start causing actual harm is where the line should be drawn.
The point is deplatforming is to prevent new people from falling into the conspiracy shit. Not about convincing the ones who have already fallen.
