In the name of improving equality, many conferences are turning to censorious tactics, removing anyone who receives the slightest complaint on ground of even minor disagreement with those claiming to be fighting for equality.

To clarify, I don't think that's what's happening in this story. This is more a response to the GGP post.

Not the writer of that post, but maybe they're pointing out the difference between "lending a helping hand" and "deplatforming".
