2026年美国高校邀请嘉宾演讲的平台封禁尝试超过200起,创下历史纪录1。这一数字较前一年大幅增长,且距年底还有近三个月1。封禁呼声来自政治光谱两端,但右翼尝试明显超过左翼,2026年右翼提出96起尝试,左翼为74起1。
令人瞩目的是政府官员在此类行动中的角色持续上升1。参与平台封禁尝试的政府官员数量从2023年的19起增加至2025年的33起1。涉及政府官员的平台封禁尝试成功率大幅提高,从2023年至2024年间的20%上升至2025年至2026年间的近67%1。其中70%涉及政府官员的平台封禁尝试发生在州立高校1。这些趋势引发了对校园言论自由和大学独立性的严重担忧1。
具体案例涵盖多所知名高校的不同处理方式1。普渡大学教授冯刚阳因中国政府反对而撤回演讲;芝加哥大学保留了Tim Pool活动的场地;哈佛大学拒绝撤销对Nicholas Kristof的邀请;犹他谷州立大学Turning Point USA纪念活动也成为相关事件的一部分1。
Attempts to prevent invited speakers from appearing on U.S. college campuses reached an all-time high in 2026, exceeding 200 incidents with nearly three months remaining in the year 1. The surge reflects an escalating trend that spans the political spectrum, though efforts from the right have outpaced those from the left 1.
Most concerning is the rising involvement of government officials in these deplatforming campaigns 1. The number of incidents involving government participation grew from 19 cases in 2023 to 33 by 2025, with the trend continuing into 2026 1. More troubling still, the success rate of such efforts has more than tripled, climbing from approximately 20 percent in 2023–2024 to nearly 67 percent in 2025–2026 1. Seventy percent of government-backed deplatforming attempts have targeted speakers at state universities 1.
Notable instances illustrate the breadth of these campaigns. At Purdue University, a professor's speaking engagement was withdrawn after objections from the Chinese government 1. The University of Chicago maintained Tim Pool's event despite pressure, while Harvard declined to rescind an invitation extended to Nicholas Kristof 1. Utah Valley State University proceeded with a Turning Point USA memorial event 1. These cases, combined with the steep rise in both frequency and success rates of deplatforming efforts—particularly those backed by government officials—have raised serious concerns about free expression and institutional autonomy on American campuses 1.
