This is a manufactured controversy, there’s no balancing act necessary between safety and free speech. Universities deplatforming hate speech is not an attack on free speech, never was and never will be. This is touted by conservatives that cry foul on their bigotry getting expelled from moderated public spaces, but we all know how hard it is to deplatform outright unhinged people - to the point that going ‘overboard’ in safety is damn impossible.
