Why?! why?! WHY?! This is wrong, this is just wrong. I won’t stand for it.
This world was built on libraries, whether people want to admit it or not.
I’m not just going to stand here and do nothing, no I know exactly what i need to do.
Don’t worry guys, i got your back.
Good!

The increase in homeschooling – reportedly up 12 percent since 2019 – is by all current indications a wave of the future toward personalized education for children, and greater independence by parents.
With home internet and public libraries being prime resources in this positive trend, any drastic limitation placed on Internet Archive and libraries in general resulting from a victory by the publishers is bound to impact children negatively. If this happens, everyone loses – now and in the future. We must take actions necessary to ensure people can continue to access information as patrons to libraries in an age we may need it most.
I agree brother, that is a major concern that needs to be addressed and dealt with.
Libraries for countless generations have done nothing but good for humanity as a whole.
So why fix a system that’s been working for literal forever? there is no point in ‘Fixing’ it.
Let’s do our parts to make sure that this tradition stays good and strong forever more.
