    "Content filtering" is just corporate jargon for subjective censorship, dynamically and discriminately restricting access to knowledge. I abhor all censorship.

    Care to make a remix of "7 Words You Can Never Say on TV" for blahaj? YOU might abhor all censorship, but your admins don't, and I'm inclined to agree with them.

    Yeah ... A complete anything-goes free for all is always going to devolve into a nasty cesspool dominated by the worst actors who have driven everyone else away. I get it, there's a lot of awful censorship out there, but on the flip side you need to have at least some rules to prevent the otherwise inevitable descent into the worst environment possible
