It's because the Russian government has spent the last 5 years pushing disinformation on social media and funding and supporting far-right groups, white nationalism, and conspiracy theorists. The Kremlin has basically succeeded in completely flooding pop culture and the internet with disinformation and hate speech, and it's become undeniable that the end game of the Russians and the their allies on the far-right is the complete destruction of the liberal world order, which is why folks like you and I who trust the science and who support diversity, equity, and inclusion, must do everything in our power to stop the far-right trolls that are currently attempting to dismantle western civilization.

We absolutely cannot allow this to happen. The uneducated science deniers and intolerant poltard bigots cannot get their way. These people are attacking the very bedrock of modern liberal democracy and modern science, and they are attempting to demonize the things that make our culture so vibrant, diverse, and beautiful, like what you see in pic related. If they succeed, then parents will no longer be able to take their children to drag shows at gay bars. If they succeed, then disinformation and hate speech will be freely allowed on social media, like all the bigots pushing the Lab Leak conspiracy theory. If they succeed, people will continue demonizing MAPS and referring minor attracted persons as "pedophiles", instead of "minor attracted persons", as they would prefer to be called. If these people succeed, they will be allowed to publicly dispute the settled science on social media. If these people succeed, they will be allowed to publicly support and advocate for Palestine and other anti-semitic causes. If these people succeed, Ukraine will no longer be a thriving liberal democracy. If these people succeed the BIPOC community will have to live in fear for their very safety. If these people succeed, heroes like Fauci will be attacked and demonized.

Part of the reason is that you censored them everywhere else. Mathematically speaking this has lead to a bifurcation, where mainstream media has become increasingly leftwing and ideologically homogenous, and likewise "alternative" media has become increasingly right wing and ideologically homogeneous.

Censorship and exluding entire perspecctives will not reduce disinformation or extremism, but it will actually increase extremism and partisanship. The tech companies and the mainstream media are aware of this, and there's even an entire body of research on the topic, but they don't care. In fact, encouraging polarization and censorship is good for their business model, even if it isn't good for society.

What will actually reduce extremism and polarization is open dialogue, debate, and exposure to a range of other ideas - and this is not my opinion, this is supported by a large volume of research in empirical psychology, computational modeling, game theory, and network science. All the rhetoric about combating extremism and disinformation is actually bullshit, and only the plebs actually believe it. The social media companies and the mainstream media and big tech are all well aware that they are intentionally promoting extremism, conflict, and social division, but they simply don't care because (1) it increases engagement (angry people like to post a lot), and (2) it gives them a pretext to censor even more content, and to usurp even more power and control over public discussion, all in the name of "combating disinformation".

In fact, this body of research has become so overwhelming and troublesome for big tech and the pro-censorship crowd, that there is now an entire growing body of opposing research that seeks to challenge these claims because normies, the mainstream media, and big tech are so triggered by psychologists, game theorists, and computer scientists who advocate for more dialogue, more free speech, and more diversity of opinions.

Yes, they certainly can, and I would even encourage them to do so if they can't find anywhere else to discuss their wrong think ideas.

However, the whole point is that you are basically complaining about websites being overrun with "poltards" and "conspiracy theorists". If your goal is to combat echo chambers and reduce extremism, then censorship and deplatforming is an objectively counterproductive strategy, at least if you trust the overwhelming body mainstream academic research on the topic, which pro-censorship normies like yourself claim to trust. Now, if your goal is just have you own little "Safe space"" where you can discuss mainstream woke neoliberal ideas without the fear of input from socialists, marxists, libertarians, nationalists, classical liberals, conspiracy theorists, and other "extremists" who challende the neoliberal narrative from both the left and right, the censorship is certainly the appropriate strategy. However, if your goal is to (1) reduce polarization, partisanship, and extremism, or (2) to reduce disinformation, then censorship and deplatforming is objectively counterproductive, and this is supported by literally hundreds of studies, including both empirical psychological studies, and theoretical models in computer science, network science, and game theory.

If you're concerned about places like sci turning into "right wing echochambers", then the solution to that problem is not more censorship and more deplatforming. The solution is more dialogue and the free exchange of ideas. Telling them to go to pol will not solve the problem, it will only make it worse. Again, this is not my opinion. This is objectively true, and supported by literally HUNDREDS of mainstream academic journal articles across multiple disciplines, but woke neolibs refuse to "trust the science" when it conflicts with their ideology and their pro-censorship agenda.

Pic related. I can provide plenty of other academic sources if needed.

I could just keep going on, too. This is a very active area of research, as I said, but woke neolibs are more committed to their ideology and their pro-censorship agenda than they are to science or academic research, so they're never going to acknowledge this type of research. "Trusting the science" only applies when "the science" aligns with woke neoliberal values.
