    The issue with censorship is that it becomes a slippery slope to the bottom.

    Additionally, whether by mistake or design, what constitutes that which is to be censored is subjective to the viewer.

    Blanket, government or platform enforced censorship is not the answer. Instead, it lays the foundations for a dystopian future where government and platform controls the narrative.
