No, I can understand why some might think that but it's flawed thinking. To give a more basic example, you're not going to say that we should allow people to murder others because otherwise we'd just push the murderers into the shadows. Even some less extreme and not even illegal activities are okay being pushed into the shadows. Not everything deserves equal weight or an equal platform. If Nazis turned up to your street every single day, how many days would it take before you wanted them moved on? You might well say that, as much as you disagree with them, unless they are actively committing crimes they can hold their hateful views and can talk about them and so on but you're not going to want them shouting in your street every day. Even with things you actually like, you might not want to give them equal placement - you might not quite be sure that the butt plug shop you like should be in between Mothercare and Toys R Us. It's fine for the butt plug shop to be somewhere where you need you to go a little out of your way.
Social media is our streets now. And these gob****es have been shouting in our streets where we are. Where we live. About worse stuff than butt plugs.
It's okay that they get moved off those streets. They won't stop existing but it will certainly reduce them recruiting others, sends a message that it's not okay and gets them out of the faces of regular people. This is a good thing.
