The Streisand Effect is a wonderful thing.
"[T]hese bans target materials written by and about people of color or LGBTQ+ individuals, and even though a 2022 poll found that 70% of parents oppose them, they are continuing at a rapid rate.
"Now the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) is trying to fight back. It recently launched the Banned Book Program, granting free nationwide access to books restricted in schools or libraries.
“It functions through GPS-based geo-targeting; by typing in your zip code, you are shown the complete list of titles prohibited in your area. Once you download the Palace e-reader app, these books are available to download.”
I’m not American and know nothing about this, but shouldn’t banning books be illegal cause of the freedom of speech amendment?
Yes. Now tell that to the republicans.
Pretty much, but republicans are stupid AF, so here we are.
