Hi Roy,

Um, that was my point

slowhand09 spoke of this being Orwellian, but as you point and jf22 point out, these actions are done by private actors, not government

So read that Bradbury quote again, in the context of private companies burning books or deplatforming private citizen speech

"It didn't come from the Government down... Technology, mass exploitation and minority [referring to interests not races] pressure carried the trick"
