    They probably asked AI about books that would ruin their future plans and the AI shat out 1984 and a whole bunch of dystopian novels

      If people didn’t want their books to burn so badly, they wouldn’t have printed on such flammable material!

      but also. Twilight sucks, but it should be available to read. i think some context should be made available to go with it since the author includes some potentially problematic racist and sexist views. however, it’s mainly being attacked for being an exploration of teenage girl sexuality that resonates/resonated with teenage girls.

    Sadly, the courts decided a long time ago that K-12 libraries are required to act in loco parentis. Not a lot we can do about censorship at that level. We have to focus on fighting the efforts to shut down public libraries.

        I’m no expert, but isn’t it easier there, from a legal standpoint, to “officially” ban various forms of expression? The Christian States Of Trumpistan has no political framework to ban things, but that actually makes it easier for local authorities to do it quietly.

      And this is why everything goes to hell when we let the deranged left or right run anything.
