Could you provide a couple examples of the types of groups you're referring to?

yes, prolife groups

in the past abortionists have been shot due to what prolifers have said, so now they go out of their way to avoid anything hateful and violence inducing, yet they are getting deplatformed en mass in the fallout from 6 Jan, which is entirely unrelated to their messaging

Is there an example of an anti-abortion group being deplatformed that you can point me towards? I saw Reddit banned a number of subreddits on Jan 6, but I don't specifically recall any of them looking like anti-abortion subreddits.

I am wrong about deplatforming in response to 6 Jan. However, prolife groups are regularly deplatformed without presenting misinformation or hate speech.

Can you point to one?

live action is one well known one

Liveaction hasn't been deplatformed from what I can see.

https://twitter.com/LiveAction

https://www.facebook.com/liveaction

Looking through their feed they have a real bug up their butt about Planned Parenthood.

Well, I guess they were deplatformed a bit:

Yes the wiki page states their Pinterest account was suspended, along with other media getting dropped from other platforms. Most pro life groups experience the same thing.
