A lot of people seem to think this is some kind of retaliation specifically targeted at Snowden and trying to prevent him from publishing his book.
Two quick facts:
- Nobody ever tried to ban his book.
- The government receiving the profits of that book comes from a simple and universal rule that nobody is allowed to benefit from a crime.
It's a rule that makes a lot of sense, whether you agree that person is a criminal or not.
- Sargos 7y ago>Nobody ever tried to ban his book The only reason this is "true" is that they legally can't and there's no loopholes to even try to use. If they had any way of even remotely doing this they would have.
- hinkley 7y agoIn a work environment, especially after a buyout, you will hear people say how X is important, while also cutting all funding for X. When a company says something is important but then cut the legs out from underneath it, they aren't being honest. They don't actually like X, they're just trying to avoid a conflict and hoping people will just forget about it. Demonetizing something is policy, be you government or corporate.
