Kind of scary how whenever someone comments on censorship a lot of peoples minds immediately go to CP..

Like, out of the millions of things one could somewhat legitimately censor, it's always CP..

CP is the exception that proves the rule in the concept of liberal communication.

... In the old definition of "proves" as in "tests," because any process that greenlights CP is wanting. So it's the one you go to as a litmus test for whether or not the question of censorship vs. open speech on the table is worth spending energy discoursing on.

W-What? Are you suggesting that an instrument for censorship could be used for anything other than its stated purpose?! The West has always been the place for free speech and tolerance!
