If the government pressures a university to cancel a talk because it doesn't like the speaker's views, you stick to it no matter what. It's a matter of principle. You don't give in with some last-minute safety excuse. Make them either officially censor it or gtfo

For anyone using @overleaf.com , be aware that the AI features that are now turned on by default sends data to OpenAI (i.e. it sends your research without any anonymisation).
