This article offers an account of no‐platforming, an investigation of the different considerations that determine why no‐platforming is wrong when it is, and how it might be justified. It suggests that no‐platforming can be wrong because it violates a person's right to a platform, or because it involves unjustified public denunciation. It then explores when no‐platforming is justified by exploring when a person might lose a right to a platform, and when public denunciation is justified. It concludes with a critical assessment of both no‐platforming culture and the prospects for legal regulation.
