The Paradox of Tolerance applies quite well here...
The segment being squeezed out wasn't willing to debate. There's been a year of debate and tolerance about the merits of masks, science, conspiracy, etc. The segment being deplatformed didn't listen to or learn from it. They were far from powerless during that time.
Not every side or segment has the rule about good faith like HN does.
I say the above as a Canadian, watching that segment spread it's toxic behavior here.
