I think this post could have profited from explaining the word “deplatforming” as in the sentence “Recently, EA Munich decided to deplatform Robin Hanson” as described in “3 suggestions about jargon in EA”.
As one of the organisers of EA Munich it would be helpful to know more clearly what is meant by this as I could read it as us trying to “shut down” a speaker. It could also just be a synonym of “disinvite”. I think especially in criticizing members of the community we should be as precise as possible.
Larks was so kind to share this article with us before posting and I pointed out this objection as my personal opinion in my reply to him.
