Mississippi is limiting access to library apps to 18 and up. They're also raising the minimum age for a library card to 18.

HOOPLA, OVERDRIVE/LIBBY NOW BANNED FOR THOSE UNDER 18 IN MISSISSIPPI

Yes, because they like to keep their kids ignorant. An ignorant population is a controlled population.

@Graci One of my favorite childhood memories is when I got my library card. I had arrived! I weep for the children of Mississippi.

@Graci
As the article states, the age of consent in Mississippi is 16. So you can have sex, you just can’t read about it. 😡

Also, those platforms carry a whole lot of religious programming/publications that most people have never heard of. Restricting access to these services hurts everyone!

@Graci
Oh my god, wtf?? These fucking backward assholes. 😡

@Graci Ugh! So many states are being dragged into the dark ages. Worse yet if certain people have their way they will force the entire country to go with them.
