Platforming refers to the act of using a platform, such as social media or online forums, to amplify a person's voice or message. This can involve sharing their content, promoting their ideas, or providing them with a space to express themselves. The goal is often to elevate marginalized voices or to support individuals who may not have access to traditional media outlets. In contrast, platforming can also have negative connotations when it involves giving a platform to individuals or groups that promote harmful ideologies or misinformation. This can lead to the spread of hate speech or extremist views, raising ethical questions about who should be allowed to speak and be heard in public discourse.
