I&#x27;m trying to decide whether this is a valid decision in response to a slow expensive modernization project, or setting up conditions for a change in how the LoC treats copyrights, which could have huge implications for the AI industry.<p>EDIT: per the press secretary, their objection is to DEI and &#x27;the inclusion of books in the library that were inappropriate for children.&#x27;<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bsky.app&#x2F;profile&#x2F;acyn.bsky.social&#x2F;post&#x2F;3loqynk6oje2k" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bsky.app&#x2F;profile&#x2F;acyn.bsky.social&#x2F;post&#x2F;3loqynk6oje2k</a><p>As far as I&#x27;m aware, you have to be at least 16 to visit the LoC. I&#x27;m gonna hazard a guess that some in the executive branch are unclear on the concept of what the LoC does.
