The Streisand Effect is a wonderful thing.

"[T]hese bans target materials written by and about people of color or LGBTQ+ individuals, and even though a 2022 poll found that 70% of parents oppose them, they are continuing at a rapid rate.

"Now the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) is trying to fight back. It recently launched the Banned Book Program, granting free nationwide access to books restricted in schools or libraries.

“It functions through GPS-based geo-targeting; by typing in your zip code, you are shown the complete list of titles prohibited in your area. Once you download the Palace e-reader app, these books are available to download.”

        Wow. It must be exhausting being so angry at so many thing all the time. I didn’t see a single comment expressing a positive vibe.

      You clearly thought it was newsworthy that people can access things they already had access to. I wanted to see why you thought it was important
