I don’t think having been alive in the 20th century is like Amazing or anything, but I am trying to communicate to young people that the present regimes of surveillance and control haven’t always operated so extensively; privacy and free expression are worth fighting for, if we can imagine them

Weber State Censors, Then Cancels, Censorship Conference

University officials said that several planned presentations violated a Utah state law banning diversity, equity and inclusion at public universities.
