Sally Rooney's books are being removed from UK shelves due to her support for Palestine Action, a group banned as a terrorist organization under the UK's Terrorism Act. The decision has sparked controversy, with some accusing the UK of censorship and others defending it as a counter-terrorism measure.

Users are sharply divided. [bus_factor] claims the UK is leading in banning speech, while [MrsDoyle] dismisses the Palestine Action issue as 'obvious bullshit.' [Seimhe] shared a personal risk of detention for supporting Palestine Action, highlighting the real consequences of such activism. Others, like [jasoman], argue the UK is catching up to US-style fascism, while [Malica] supports the decision.

The community consensus leans toward viewing the UK's actions as a form of censorship, with significant fault lines between those who see it as a legitimate counter-terrorism measure and those who view it as an attack on free speech.
