Brought to you by the creators of the much more disturbing Virality Project. It's shocking how gleefully the youth of the world narc on one another and themselves. We're mere months away from creating the "Stasi class" and the Ivies seem to be the ones on the assembly line building their best version of the T-54 - the perfect machine to combat discourse and dissent.

Yep. The Virality Project is covered at length in the Twitter Files. ...

In essence, Stanford joined forces with the government's surveillance state to censor free speech on Social Media. Couple that with Stanford's IT department and its Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative (EHLI) last year. I took a satirical look at the EHLI in December.

Stanford IT eventually disbanded the initiative.

The story (above) doesn't even address the DEI impact at Stanford. Modern day Torquemadas.

Hmmm. Virality Project, when what we really need right now is a Virility Project

Virality Project - where academics and government join forces to censor speech they deem unacceptable. Chilling.
