Does it necessarily though? When I’m responding to this kind of hate, I am usually trying to make it very clear that I’m taking out the trash. There is no implication of discourse between two similarly valid perspectives, it’s a no-holds barred takedown.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding the way this will be perceived but for me it’s helpful to recognize misinformation when I see someone has already debunked it. I don’t think it does anything to platform them.

Of course, I also support deplatforming hate, but I don’t always have the power to do that directly. And sometimes by challenging views that are carefully framed so as to appear respectable, you can entice people to reveal their real views and motivations, and make such deplatforming more likely.
