      I would say people in power who are threatened by ideas. History bears this out pretty uniformly.

      She probably has no power but she (or her ilk) used to be and she hasn't quite internalized the shift.

      If you don't take it, it can only good happen.

        Note too that YOUR censorship is authoritarian, MINE is about safety or order, depending on my stripes.

          My censorship is about PEACE and LOVE and and I'll kill you all if you say it isn't.

            @Tom-K said in Tell me aqain who the censors are:

            My censorship is about PEACE and LOVE ...

            Does it include gay love?

              I skimmed through the video of the public comments. You're pretty accurate. Most of the comments were along the lines of "TP USA is a threat, look at the evidence!" and then the evidence they would cite would basically be words or messages they don't like. That TP USA says trans people have mental issues, or TP USA dehumanizes with their posters... Many of the speakers were parents with LGBT kids in the high school. I find it a bit ironic that a year ago they would want compelled speech (e.g., call my kid by their preferred pronoun!) and now they are against free speech. I guess there is a theme, there.

                  I’m sure she has death threats before but probably feels she needs to take these more seriously.
