School uses AI to remove 200 books, including Orwell's 1984 and Twilight

the librarian was put under investigation when she refused to ban the books. > An investigation into the librarian was soon launched and the library closed as a "temporary safeguarding measure". of course 1984 is one of the books being banned.

There is a reason why we need to safeguard the culture (old, recent & actual) for the future generations. This is a intergenerational responsibility that we need to tackle asap.

I wonder if Fahrenheit 451 was banned too? Or maybe it was kept as a how-to manual?
