book censorship Anonymous 01/11/2026 (Sun) 20:09 [Preview] No. 73902
I want to publish a book (online and offline) that has very bright thoughts but has also strong controversial sentences.
Who could I contact to review the book before publishing?
I wanted to send it to CIA for review but it seems their website requires javascript to send information.
If not CIA, then who?
The book would be mostly published in the US, it's in English.

I don't get why the CIA would review a book?
Sounds like the have more important things to do, like psyops.
You can send parts of the book, or the most controversial statements to people you trust and ask is this is appropriate to think/publish.
If you want to "spread the word" upload it to archive.org, google docs, onedrive and small pdf and send it / post around the net. you wont make money from it

>I don't get why the CIA would review a book?
Because the book is controversial and they could be angry at the book and the author.

>You can send parts of the book, or the most controversial statements to people you trust and ask is this is appropriate to think/publish.
This is good idea but I don't have a single person that I trust. I don't know who to ask.

>If you want to "spread the word" upload it to archive.org, google docs, onedrive and small pdf and send it / post around the net. you wont make money from it
I want to release the book for free (digital version) and paid (printed). If I earn zero this is not a problem, money is not my motivation.

I'm interested to take a look.
Or to look at those controversial statements.
I mean freedom of speech is important, but then again there is stuff like "hate speech" also. It all depends where you live as well. proLGBTQ stuff is bad in one country and in another antiLGBTQ stuff is bad

Maybe I will post them later or tomorrow. I already censored the book a little and rewritten strong opinions using softer and more legal language.

But I want to publish the book in US and maybe somewhere else. So should I care about US laws or my local laws?

I have no idea. Maybe you should consult a lawyer, and inform yourself about hate speech, what it means.
Maybe an intro can help, saying something "This book is not intended to spread hate. This book is not a reason/excuse for violence." ect.

Should the book be published to the public or privately to some organizations?


Anonymous 01/11/2026 (Sun) 21:57 [Preview] No.73911 del
The whole point of the book is to make the world better place, the whole world. It promotes various positive traits in humans.
But has some controversial parts, that's why I want to ask someone about opinion.


Anonymous 01/11/2026 (Sun) 22:05 [Preview] No.73912 del
To be honest, I don't see why somebody would be angry at the book. But there are various people.
Maybe the book should be released not to the public but more privately, but nobody spoken with me about this.

I think it should be published public,
you can still send it to the organizations.
would love to read/ see

Some time ago, I released a philosophical theory about something and had decent feedback.
I written a whole book (small but a book) that is based on this theory.

Maybe I should publish it and if the censors won't like it they can delete it. But it's hard for me to understand why it would be deleted.

I want people to discuss the book, if they don't like it they can write what they don't like and why.

I thought that medieval censorship is over.

bookburnings and public lynches are over. but people keep banning books in school libraries, which seems fair.
at least they can be found elsewhere, like normal libraries.

Maybe it should be published in other countries instead.

Why nobody appreciates my deep thoughts and insights that could improve the whole world?

Should I publish, should I still change something in the book? I already self-censored the book.

I strongly doubt you will get any readership. Most people write on medium.com or Twitter nowadays. Unless you have a following there or have made a name for yourself IRL this is probably gunna be a nothingburger desu.

The world doesn't care about that anymore. Make ragebait and politically charged AI slop or generic video essays. That or be doomed to obscurity. You VILL become a content creator on social media or you VILL be unhappy.
