Summary

A Kickstarter campaign for a book titled “She Handled It” about “Save Women’s Sports” activists has been suspended. The book’s author, Arwen Becker, claims the platform told her the campaign was suspended due to “strong evidence” of a violation of Kickstarter’s rules. The campaign has been moved to GiveSendGo, a Christian-owned digital fundraising platform. Becker believes the suspension has actually helped drive more attention to her project.


Our Reading

The game followed a familiar script.

Arwen Becker’s Kickstarter campaign was shut down, and she’s now fundraising on GiveSendGo.

Becker claims Kickstarter told her the campaign was suspended due to “strong evidence” of a rule violation.

One of the reasons given was that the campaign promoted discrimination, bigotry, or intolerance.

This one feels recognizable early, as Becker believes the suspension has actually helped drive more attention to her project.

Original observation: The more these platforms try to silence certain voices, the louder they become.
