These arguments presuppose that people value the truth. I've found, at least on Reddit, that most communities that have rampant censorship subscribe to indefensible ideas. For example, none of the science subreddit would consider banning someone who argues for Flat Earth, because scientists live for the opportunity to debate on the side of the truth.
However, certain subs such as T_D and LSC allow no challenge of their ideas, because they don't merit correctness and know that a debate of their ideologies is a contest that they will lose.
To paraphrase Dawkins, you cannot reason with people who don't value reason.
