- Canceling individuals online effectively removes them but not their ideas.
- The underlying currents of thought remain, waiting for new figures to adopt them.
Discoverability and Platforms
- Deplatforming limits discoverability, hindering audience growth for creators.
- Discoverability relies on platforms with vast user bases, making it hard to grow elsewhere.
