It's not even reasonable for grade school children. They're not banning porn, they're banning books based on phrases taken with no surrounding context. Some character mentioned once in the book is gay? Banned (one of John Green's books is being banned for exactly this).



I should've been more specific. The statute is reasonable for young children; this method of enforcing it with AI is not.


FWIW, John Green's book was not banned by AI. It (and many others) were banned by people's reports.

Again, it's not like there's porn or smut in these elementary and middle-school libraries. It's culture war hatred targeted at gay and trans people shrouded in "think about the children."
