Serious question, is it normal for a campus to cancel a guest just for a past tweet?
My community college in Phoenix pulled a local historian from a talk because someone found a 2014 post of his criticizing a political candidate. The event was about railroad history, not politics. Has anyone else seen a speaker get shut down over old social media that had nothing to do with their scheduled topic?

Wait, you think that's bad? My campus canceled a birdwatching speaker over a ten year old joke.

Where does this stop then?

Honestly had the same exact thought last year when my whole feed became ads. For me it stopped when I started muting words and aggressively telling the algorithm "not interested". Took a couple weeks but it calmed down. You gotta train it like a puppy, it's annoying but it works.
