I’m sure the CCP finds the alt text pretty thought provoking, too.

I'm sorry, but "guilt by association" is not a compelling argument. If the CCP agrees with something, this alone doesn't make the something they agree with automatically bad. Also see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductio_ad_Hitlerum

They don’t just agree with it, they explicitly use that alt text to justify their oppression.

Also, I never made a “guilt by association” argument, you inferred it. You just committed the fallacy fallacy. Also see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_fallacy

"I'm sure the CCP thinks the same" is the laziest, weakest form of objection. You're not off the hook, you must still prove the idea being criticized is wrong regardless of what the CCP thinks about it.

(Like I pointed out in another comment, I think you've misread the alt-text, because it certainly doesn't support censorship).
