		This isn’t new. Censorship was actually actively cheered on by some during the COVID pandemic, and there’s been wide support of “hate speech” censorship laws for a long time before that even. Unfortunately, most people only want free speech for their speech.

Very dystopian for a mega corporation to use the FBI to crack down on protests against the mass surveillance and genocide of Palestinians. I remember people saying that the book IBM and the Holocaust was an important ethical lesson for our industry, guess not, now it seems more like a guidebook.
