Dumb bin Laden Video; Dumb Responses

There's a dumb TikTok video going around in which some dumb kids ham it up for the camera, pretending that reading OBL's "Letter to America" changed their lives. The kids are all coiffed for the camera. They're actors acting. Bin Laden's letter is pretty much crap. I'm certainly not saying that it's not interesting to know his motives. But I'm saying that you have to be feeble-minded for it to change your life. I am, of course, not saying that he's wrong about everything. I'm saying just what I'm saying and not another thing.
   But apparently the video has been yanked. And the Grauniad (where the letter was initially published?) has taken it down.
   These reactions are even dumber than the original video, which is saying something.
   The video should be available, as should the letter. That should go without saying. 
   Suppressing expression is not the way to win an argument.
   When did we lose our minds about such stuff?
