Cool, cool, the biggest news publication in the land is advocating for blacklists and de-platforming, in its news pages.

This stuff is censorship, by the way. It doesn't violate the first amendment of the Bill of Rights, but it's still censorship. Just because it would be legal doesn't make it not censorship. Please read John Stuart Mill's On Liberty for a good explanation of the original Englightenment conception of freedom-of-expression.

De-platforming is shunning at scale. Shunning is censorship.
