19 days agoReally highlights the fact that any free speech and naive western sense of freedom in these walled garden is just a button press away from being taken away and that there are no rules or standards. Whenever the owners or their friends feel even slightly displeased, annoyed or god forbid afraid the masks go off and the hammer falls.
Is it for the sake of “Trump proofing” or are there other reasons? Looking at what has been safeguarded one thinks they are expecting a some sociology department purge. No matter what one might think it’s still a really bad idea to start a book burning. Even if it could be objectively proven that all that stuff is nonsense and dangerous it still doesn’t mean that they warrant destruction, because everything is worthy of keeping around because it can still be referenced and for history’s sake. People who ban books and restrict access are really more afraid of an argument than protecting the truth.
fyi: Never title our posts like “I found this on site X” or “I found this to be cool”. It’s seriously bad practice.
