“This type of “correction” is a consequence of the computer age. 1984 made real if you please! Any material deemed “incorrect” can easily be erased.”
I have been wondering about this when it came to Kindles and literature. What would they do to the Bible? And some echos of Fahrenheit 451, where memorizing books will be needed to kept the true literature alive.
But this is just plain hubris to the max!
Sure! Another example “editing” Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn. The latter text has already been removed from school libraries. It will be much easier to “edit” the offending words when the only access to the book is through a computer.
