Why is it not mild disapproval?

I would also like clarification on why this would not be considered mild disapproval.

After reading the answer explanation, it seems that her considering Weiner's view to be "boilerplate technological determinism" is what makes her stance more than just a disapproval. I was tricked as well by thinking that the preceding concession of Ginsburg was what made it mild. From what I understand of the answer explanation however, it seems that in mentioning technological determinism, the author was essentially claiming Ginsburg viewed Weiner's theory to be stereotypical/racist. Hopefully this helps. Or, if I'm wrong someone could please correct me!

The issue with C, mild disapproval, is that Ginsburg's disapproval of Weiner's position is much stronger than "mild disapproval." If you go to lines 37-43, she thinks that he is totally wrong and that his position betrays a nostalgia for the outdated, racist idea of the noble savage. These are pretty combative thoughts and not something that fits into "mild disapproval." Thus, C does not reflect Ginsburg's stance, so we can get rid of it.

The previous comment (username not shown) is on the money. Boilerplate technological determinism is a harsh critique.
