How the FUCK was she flagged in the first place? HereSince1628 has done great job looking into why she was denied after learning of her past mental health issues. And there it indeed seems like it's down to crappy interpretation of a somewhat vaguely written law.

What scares the shit out of me though is how she was black listed to begin with? I guess the confidentiality of medical records means shit nowadays. If it's the fact that she wrote a book that would entail someone, of an algorithm, skimming huge volumes of published material "looking for potential 'crazies' to ban". That is just about as scary IMO.
