Refusing to ban discussion of paedophilia by paedophiles is not the same as promoting paedophilia. We can make a close analogy with alcoholism, which devastates lives through health consequences, violence, and road deaths. Would you ban Alcoholics Anonymous? From Twitter? Same reasoning also applies to zoophilia, also likely a developmental psychiatric disorder.

Cantor is a sex researcher. He advocates openness about sexuality, and in the case of paraphilias that lead to abuse, he advocates supporting those who might abuse to prevent that abuse. He is fighting against abuse.

Pedophilia is not a mental disorder.

The American Psychiatric Association disagrees with you. See DSM-5 and ICD-11.
