“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.”
If we let conservatives ban 1984, they will be forced to stop pretending they have read it, and comparing everything irrelevant to it, while we can still illegally access it.
Something to think.about.
