Click bait title as always from Chipit the known shill.

The study was conducted exclusively along the portrail of low status groups. It's says nothing about broad liberal views on censorship.

It's a study about a well known fact.

If you're a SJW then you generally support SJW issues, and would like less coverage that discredits your expressed general position.

Nobody likes info that conflicts with their world view.

Everybody would prefer to see evidence that supports their world view.

Please let me know if a population exists that this inherent fact does not apply to.

More low-brow research from the folks that send Chipit material to post.

The abstract and "results" couldn't be less objective.

Recent work has suggested that Liberals have sacred values about protecting low status groups and thus are particularly prone to bias against any information that portrays those groups unfavorably. In a preregistered study (n = 559), we tested whether Liberals would support more censorship of information that portrays low status groups unfavorably (that men evolved to be better leaders than women, that Islam is violent and incites terrorism, and that white people score higher on intelligence tests than black people) than similar information that portrays high status groups unfavorably (that women evolved to be better leaders than men, that Christianity is violent and incites terrorism, and that black people score higher on intelligence tests than white people). The results very clearly supported predictions. Liberals consistently displayed double standards in their censorship preferences such that they desired to censor information that portrays low status groups unfavorably more than information that portrays high status groups unfavorably. Moderates and Conservatives supported more similar levels of censorship regardless of whether the information was favorable toward relatively high or low status groups, but Conservatives did display a small preference for censoring Christian violence over Islamic violence. Exploratory analyses also revealed that Millennials might be slightly more in support of censorship than Generation X in general, but Baby Boomers’ censorship support generally fell between that of Generation X and Millennials.

I agree that SJWs are idiots.

However, this research is clickbait propaganda.
