Erm, I think it’s the exact opposite? People want you to learn about history so we don’t make the same mistakes

I think modern "censorship" is about how the self-described victim feels about the information, not its inherit value or the intention of the person sharing it. There was a story a couple years ago about students complaining some history topic made them feel upset (slavery maybe?) and demanding something be done about that.

I think what he meant was that people will dig thru your history to find stuff that (they find) is no longer socially acceptable and cancel you.

Does "cancelling" even work against corporations? I'm finding it hard to think of any corporation that went away because they stopped being cool.

Plenty of corporations went under because they no longer had a product-market fit, that's for sure :-)
