Deplatforming, also known as no-platforming, is a boycott on an individual or group by removing the platforms used to share their information or ideas.^[1] The term is commonly associated with social media.

As early as 2015, platforms such as Reddit began to enforce selective bans based, for example, on terms of service that prohibit "hate speech".^[2] A famous example of deplatforming was Twitter's ban of then-US President Donald Trump shortly after the January 6 United States Capitol attack.^[3]
