The allegations of shadow banning against Mike Miller’s Magnificent Seven campaign are a microcosm of larger issues surrounding free speech, ideological bias, and platform neutrality in the digital age. As crowdfunding becomes an increasingly vital part of independent comics’ success, the transparency and fairness of these platforms will be crucial.
Moving forward, creators will need to remain vigilant and vocal about their rights. Platforms like IndieGoGo must clarify their policies and ensure that creative freedom is protected, regardless of political or ideological leanings. The future of independent comics depends on maintaining open and fair avenues for creators to share their work with their audience.
