I find it very dangerous if anyone would capable of -or should have the power to- determine the standards that messages should adhere to. That is precisely the type of behavior that will once prevent a resistance from speaking out against its oppressor.

And we are not talking 0.1%, we are talking about a lot less than 1 in 1000 and that is important here. I strongly believe that taking freedom away, i.e. by prescribing what the standards are that messages should adhere to, will breed disrespect, anger, hate, feelings of oppression.

A mind virus does not ignite among happy, free people, it ignites among oppressed people. We should avoid oppressing people.
