Deplatforming, also known as no-platforming, is a form of Internet censorship in which social media and other technology companies suspend, ban, or otherwise shut down controversial speakers or speech. Banking and financial service providers, among other companies, have also denied services to controversial activists or organizations, a practice known as financial deplatforming.
The term deplatforming also refers generally to tactics, often organized using social media, for preventing controversial speakers or speech from being heard. Deplatforming tactics have included disruption of speeches, attempts to have speakers disinvited to a venue or event, and various forms of personal harassment including efforts to have an individual fired or blacklisted.
Cancel culture
Cancel culture is a phrase contemporary to the late 2010s and early 2020s used to refer to a culture in which those who are deemed to have acted or spoken in an unacceptable manner are ostracized, boycotted, or shunned. The term "cancel culture" is predominantly used when these responses are to right-wing actions or speech, but is rare when the responses are to left-wing actions or speech.[5][a] This shunning may extend to social or professional circles—whether on social media or in person—with most high-profile incidents involving celebrities.[6] Those subject to this ostracism are said to have been "canceled".
