  "textContent": "Sraars:\n\n> Unsurprising for Utah given how much is Mormon ran. …they really don’t want people to be able to look things up.\n\nThis relies heavily on the Fallacy of Composition. You assume that because some Mormon lawmakers support this, the entire group shares the exact same motives.\n\nThis logic is not good. There are over 2 million Mormons in Utah and over 17 million worldwide. Over 99% of them are not lawmakers, and many may actively oppose these kinds of laws. Treating a diverse group of millions as a single, like-minded entity (“they”) doesn’t make logical sense.\n\nImagine saying: “Some American lawmakers want to censor the internet, therefore all Americans want to censor the internet.” You wouldn’t make that leap, because it’s ridiculous to hold everyday citizens collectively responsible for the actions of their politicians. We should apply that same logic here. You can and should critique the specific lawmakers and the specific policies, but blaming the entire religion is biased and logically flawed.",
