Mike Bens (Benz?) was on Rogans podcast and it’s insane how into censorship the government is.
“But Reddit is a private company, they can censor all they want, it’s not a 1st Amendment issue!”

What an ominous title. How can “social responsibility” on “social media” that concerns human beings, not be meted out among human participants themselves? Instead, it’s a big brother board of unelected people high in their towers siphoning off taxdollars who are putting out diktats?
If academia wants to become an arm of the government’s censorship/propaganda organ, they better declare their conflict of interest. Stop pretending they’re places for “free thinking”.
