Books are a manifestation of authors' thoughts. As you read, those thoughts stimulate your thoughts.

When ChristoFascists ban books, they're banning thoughts: those of authors, and yours. Because they're scared of thoughts.

A quotation from Byron, George Gordon, Lord:

«««««
If I valued fame, I should flatter received opinions, which have gathered strength by time, and will yet wear longer than any living works to the contrary.

I worry about all the data I give out that should not be made public, it's my freedom of thought.

Apps are sensors of my thoughts, the music I listen to, my interactions, where I am, my heart rate, how far I am from my phone, how long I sleep, how "focused" I am on my work, my interests, how sick I am, my fart frequency.

When we talk about we don't realise how much mental privacy we have left in the hands of vultures. Uncontrolled.

A quotation from Jackson, Robert H.:

«««««
The priceless heritage of our society is the unrestricted constitutional right of each member to think as he will. Thought control is a copyright of totalitarianism, and we have no claim to it.

The school district where I work just ordered the removal of a select list of books deemed inappropriate by a very small number of parents.

Then they ordered the librarians to not use the word ban.

This isn't freedom. It's the opposite.
