Because it's for children. Surely you don't think anything goes in a children's library?

Surely you don't think anything goes in a children's library?

Children's libraries are curated by librarians and teachers. There's never been a point in history where "anything goes" in a children's library.

And the internet is not for children? That's my point, social media is targeted at kids. Why is it that people scream "free speech" when hateful content is banned online while at the same calling for the banning of books? They're mad that they can't say whatever they want while simultaneously feeling that other people shouldn't.
