They will become more radical, but they will be prevented from radicalizing others. When normal people encounter the now hyper-radicalized members of the deplatformed groups, they will tend to write them off as the crazed radicals that they are.

Convince those who you can. Exile those who are too far gone. Doing the opposite in either instance is harmful.
