I think it's super weird that they want to ban books, this used to be a thing the conservative Christians tried to do.

It is super weird. I kind of have a feeling that the marketing folks at Random House conjured up the whole scheme: "Let's have a 'town hall' regarding the publishing of a controversial author who we know some of our workers will get all avocado toast about and throw a fit and fall in it. We'll leak that event and subsequent turmoil to the press and we'll get the awareness about the book out there just like that...for free...on the backs of the woke..."

Normally I would agree, but this is like the fourth book the crybullies have tried to ban this year. The only one I'm aware that they were successful is Woody Allen's memoir (I don't know if that was this year).
I'm sorry. Am I to understand that when you have a boner you like to imagine punching the shit out of Tom Bishop? That's disgusting.

I guess it's always complicated and even case by case. But it's like when a controversial speaker has an engagement at a University. The crybullies try to stop it as it is giving a voice, a platform to the individual. I'm all for protesting against said individuals and their views if that's your thing, but I'm against trying to bully the administration to stop the voice from being heard. It's a fine line.
In the case here, if you're an employee against the author, you can make your stance known, even quit if so inclined. But if the pressure is meant to stop the publishing, suppress the speech, I have a hard time with that. Again, maybe it's a case by case thing.

Yeah, the idea that it's not good enough that they don't read the book (or listen to the speaker) they must make sure others can't read the book is very disturbing.

What you posted was people working at Penguin not wanting to publish the book. Not wanting to publish and banning a book is very, very different. It's such a tired tactic at this point for them to pretend to be persecuted because people don't want to publish them or whatever.

This happens all the time with controversial authors in publishing houses. It's just that now it is publicized because playing victim is JP's whole shtick, and the publisher saw dollar signs. The town hall thing is so transparent lol

Yeah, like, banning something used to mean something being made illegal to sell or publish or arresting people for reading it/owning it/whatever, but now apparently it means someone saying "I don't want the company I work for to print this trash" and then their company doing a shitty publicity stunt by setting up a bullshit "town hall" and taking advantage of them to promote said trash.

Welcome to the free market.  No company is obligated to publish books they don’t want to publish.  No university is obligated to give a platform to speakers the don’t want to hear speaking.

Each is free to listen to objections from employees, student bodies or anyone else whose opinions they value and act accordingly.

Maybe you’d prefer the state to decide what gets published instead?  Not very conservative though.

If I write some bad trashy novel I don’t have the right to demand it gets published. 

Same difference, except fans of some political hacks seem to think it’s censorship if publishers don’t want to print the things they want.

We’re all “no platformed” by default. That’s life.   It’s up to us to find a platform that will have us if we want to spread whatever we want to say.

You said it worked in the context of "banning" books:

In what sense did they work?  The book was published and lots of extra publicity was generated.   The book wasn't banned.

I don't agree with the employees in either case  - it's just another dumb self help book, who gives a shit?  However they are just exercising their free speech, right to protest etc.  What do you want to do?  Ban them?

I don't want to ban anyone. I don't want corporate censorship to be based on whatever is considered woke at the moment. The Woody Allens of the world can always find another publisher, but most people aren't that lucky.

So does that mean they have to let anyone speak who wants to?  I could just rock up at a university and expect to address a bunch of students on my favorite 80s sci-fi TV shows?  And if they don’t let me, I can whinge that I’m being no platformed?

OK but why does that matter? Shouldn't employees of a publishing house be entitled to have a say in what gets published? Their bosses already do. It's not like anyone can just walk up to a publisher and give them something to publish and then boom, they do it. Allen is a sex creep, I understand someone not wanting to publish his stuff.

"Handing over the censorship to the companies" is what already happens by default.

Fair enough, it's just you are using the word "ban" which has has a particular meaning and connotations, as in:

"officially or legally prohibit (something)." 

That is clearly not happening - nobody is banning these books and I doubt anyone even called for an actual ban.

Are you kidding?  It's literally easier to publish your work than any time in human history. You can just self publish to Amazon eBooks for free.  Or straight to your own website that you can set up for a few dollars.    You don't even need a publisher to publish any more.

In the past, unless you were already famous (like Woody Allen), or got lucky, the chances are you'd never get your work published and nobody would ever read it.  Traditional publishing is an expensive and marginal business and publishers were very risk averse - most books never made any money.  Now anybody can knock something out and have it available all over the world in minutes.

Most people aren't lucky enough to get any publisher whatsoever anyways lol, do you think anyone can just go to Hachette and say "pls publish my stuff"? If anything it is way easier now to publish something. Heck, you can even just dump it on the Internet as a last resort.

It's like people who desperately want to be persecuted somehow only now discovered that publishers can chose what they publish and they won't just publish whatever you give them, and they may chose not to for millions of reasons. It's such a tired trope at this point, idk how some people still fall for it.

No, speakers are invited by students and student groups, usually. So, if the sci-fi nerd society invited you to talk about your favorite 80s sci-fi tv shows, then you would definitely have the right to speak on campus. Now, if the fantasy nerd society protested against you, you'd still have the right to speak, unless the fantasy nerds threaten violence and the university feels it can't keep you safe.

Really? Where does it say that? Do you think just anyone can go and speak in a university? Why is everyone acting like they JUST now figured out you can't speak whenever and wherever you want? Why is it even such a big issue that someone can't be invited speak in any particular university? Can't they live without the prestige? Like, this is not universities kicking out students or professors for their views, we're talking about guests who were disinvited because students didn't want them around. Like, they're just guests. They can just speak wherever. All speaking at a university would achieve for them is the prestige that saying "I was invited to speak at a university" carries with it, and they know it, and that's why they do it, and that's why others don't want them to have it if they don't like them. It's not the end of the world for anyone. Not being platformed here and there happens to everyone all the time, and for much more significant issues than this shit, but it's only a very particular group of people that constantly make a big stink about it, evidently even if they get their way after all ("coincidentally" these same people also seem to have a massive spotlight in their faces and a thousand other places where they can and do find platforms). The persecution complex has no end.

It's very curious how angry you are at employees not supporting publishing Peterson's book.

It's very curious you think I'm angry at employees because I want to have a discussion about them trying to block publication of Jordan Peterson's book, in a thread about Jordan Peterson, on a forum that is for having discussions about this sort of thing.
I'm sorry. Am I to understand that when you have a boner you like to imagine punching the shit out of Tom Bishop? That's disgusting.
