Everything on the internet is shaped by political views. I don’t understand this take at all. All of the internet projects started as defense projects run by people that believed information should be shared and were taken over to become surveillance institutions. The notion that someone should run a free website indexing all rust crates is itself greatly informed by the politics surrounding FOSS and open information. How you respond to the paradox of tolerance is deeply political. We just happen to fall of different sides of the issue so I have no qualms calling it out.

    Lib.rs could call it out and still return results for the search. Having said that, you can still view https://lib.rs/keywords/twitter or https://lib.rs/search?q=%22twitter%22 without any commentary, so it's workaroundable (or inconsistent).

    I don't have a view on this particular case, but "calling it out" whilst still functioning effectively as normal is essentially a strongly-worded letter. F, and I can't stress this enough, that. Protest cannot be subdued by convenience.
