'SoundCloud has de-platformed journalist Andy Ngo's podcast "on the grounds of being dedicated to violating" the site's rules. However, the latest episode of the podcast was uploaded more than one year ago and there was no option in the notification email for Ngo to appeal or even seek further information.'

Date: 2021-06-30 01:08 (UTC)Unfortunately, this sort of thing is becoming more and more common -- condemning a person based on vague allegations not even shared with the target, with no path of appeal and no willingness to review, because it's more important for the people in charge to look like they're on the "right" side politically than to actually exercise judgement and caution.
If you use someone else's platform (as we all do, here and elsewhere), you might wake up some morning and discover you have become inconvenient and will now be tossed aside or smeared. :-(
