I listened to The Detail podcast that Shawn is referring to. Jennings was not proposing to 'de-platform' Winston Peters, rather he was pointing out that countering potential falsehoods may be pointless a) because it has already spread through social media b) there's so much of it and c) it actually may have the opposite effect of people like WP using such criticism as proof of a conspiracy by the so-called legacy media against him when there's no evidence of this.
