      Free information, education and entertainment without restrictions is a danger to fascism.
      Destroying that empowers psychopaths to be able to brainwash it’s citizens.

      This is why we need public libraries all over the world. And a free open, uncensored internet to accompany it.
      Each individual should make decisions about what is appropriate for themselves, not a government, a religion or terrorists.

      Don’t these right wing crazies have vendettas against the public library systems? Also there are lots of foreign hacker/troll farms that would love to do things like this
