Curious as to how what Mill fans on the forum think one view/idea/belief winning over another plays out in the real world? I'd have thought that it would look something like antisemitic, racist, prejudiced, etc., views being accepted by most rational people as being wrong, and thus, those people would dismiss them. And as they'd been shown to be wrong, people probably would not publish them. And when they were published, most people would be disappointed and call out the publisher for being dumb.
It's possible that we've been wrong about this though and antisemitism isn't wrong. Luckily, freedom of speech remains. This weirdos views can be discussed. No one is censoring him. The free market of ideas lives on.
