Kudos to admin!
Have you responded with all the misinformation you seem to spot, oneoff?
Say, oneoff, you're obviously a very intelligent man - tell me what you think of this statement from the "Federal Register", 1984, under the auspices of one Ronald Reagan -
(Trying to push aside the ironic, coincidental date, but it keeps springing to mind)
Do you agree with the concept of "noble lies"?
If so, how do you determine when the "nobility" of the lie wears thin?
Do you claim to be able to determine what situation or ethic ascribes "nobility" to a lie?
The debate is not about whether or not governments and regulatory bodies are capable of lying as they see necessary - the above quotation evidently seals that question.
Until you answer those questions truthfully, on what grounds may you proceed to try to censor what others may or may not say?
I think admin will have enough integrity, or knowledge, at least, to know when they would be crossing the line. The networking capability is just too broad today and as such, the potential for unintended backlash accompanies in like fashion.
I'm sure they know that it's likely best if they don't start dumping censorship into a normal debate, especially one that generates a lot of clicks and revenue.
Because we all know that it's all about the money and control, don't we oneoff.
