Please report any suspected collaborators with the Chinese secret police to the DEI campus safety board.
All suspects will need to report to the DEI offices for re-education.
Joking, but they literally do the exact same shit to Republicans.

It strikes me as relevant that we are building a lot of the same infrastructure of our own accord, with strikingly similar justifications.
At this same university, anybody can anonymously complain about professors or other students based on what they say in a classroom or lecture hall, and that complaint will be investigated.
Does that have an impact on free expression?
The onus is on commenters to stick to the site guidelines, regardless of how provocative the information in a submission may be.
They even include "offensive classroom comment" as a category
I think the point of the parent of your post and the article is that regardless of what you believe, you should have the right to your opinion and should not be persecuted for it.
If you're referring to abortion, I think the main disagreement between sensible people is the point at which a group of cells becomes a child, deserving of protection? And whose responsibility is that child? My answers are at conception, and whoever is currently in custody (the mother, before birth); simply because I don't see an alternative that isn't highly arbitrary or subjective.
In regard to voting rights, democracy is clearly better than the other things we've tried. I just don't think the people we elect should have quite so much power. Their remit should be limited to the administration of peace and order, not binding us all into one cooperative working towards a common goal. Society is about peaceful coexistence, not collectivizing the realities of misfortune or inadequacy.
Most basically, I think anyone who is drawn to the idea of forcing people to cooperate is taking a moral stance that I simply cannot follow. In the absence of an oracle to divine good from evil, I can't come up with a justification, save one, for using force to compel cooperation. Doing so is indistinguishable from a degree of slavery.
This happens a lot at 'FAANG-tier' companies, but then again screening employees is virtually impossible at this scale, US companies still have an advantage and they remain ahead of the competition because copying/leaking information takes time, and the re-engineering also takes time.Academia is a sensitive area, because on one hand you have to be transparent and keep discourse public and open, but on the other hand state-sponsored entities actively engage in battles(especially cybernetic ones) to control narratives about certain subjects, especially in 'public spaces'.
