I'm not saying it's not having an effect, I'm saying calling this silencing is a ridiculous overreach. It's equating an unfortunate allusion with laws restricting freedom of speech
Yes, but as I previously pointed out, the letter doesn't equate these things with 'silence'. It expressly equates that with 'narrow[ing] the boundaries of what can be said without the threat of reprisal' and 'greater risk aversion'.pic.twitter.com/I890Fsm9Mj
It uses the word silence later on. And the "threat of reprisal" is a bit meaningless, virtually everything comes with some "threat" of "reprisal" As to risk aversion, is the pendulum swinging against racism worse than the previous situation?
