More on: Deplatforming

The podcast episodes provided discuss the phenomenon of deplatforming, where speakers or content creators are removed or restricted from mainstream platforms like social media, payment processors, or event venues due to their expressed views.

The episodes cover how some groups, such as conservatives, anti-vaccine activists, and religious conservatives, feel they have been deplatformed or sanctioned by mainstream corporations, leading them to seek alternative infrastructure to participate in public discourse.
