It started with a book about an ugly chapter in history. It was in a school library. A parent of one of the students objected, and the school removed the book.
Soon other books were removed from other libraries. Then from bookstores too. Publishers stopped putting out anything that might offend, and authors stopped writing anything that might not get published.
Then social media companies began rejecting content that might be controversial, and people stopped posting anything of substance.
In time, written communication faded away, and people reverted to telling stories orally, as in the Dark Ages.
