I don't know, I see you jumping in with stuff that wasn't under discussion.

> Hays code would be a prime example of this.

That was not a law and it was not a standard created by a company for its own use, it was an industry-wide standard and it has not been "revoked", merely revised, replaced, etc. (Posters advertising a film still may not have a gun pointing directly at the camera, for instance.)

> You also seem to assume that I am somehow ok with censorship laws on the notion that we can repeal them later

No, and given that the paragraph following looks like a lengthy rebuttal of arguments I haven't made (please reread what I wrote if you are confused), I have nothing to say about it.

I'm not interested in trying to reform it, I don't know why you're focusing on arguing that I'm dumb and wrong rather than trying to make your case, and I don't care. I don't wanna engage in anything like this. If you have a course of action to propose, propose it. Making vague references to what you think is the correct thing to do and spending all your time REEEEing that I don't understand anything is fine, you're free to do that, but I am not going to waste time that I could be spending on building the things that I think need to be built.

So the TL;DR of that: you are convinced that you know de way, propose de way. If "de way" cannot be defined in terms other than "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING", then I don't think you have a proposal and you just wanna have a slap-fight, and I don't care.

> Unintentional censorship was not being discussed.

You're right it wasnt, I didnt mention anything about the censorship being unintentional. I'm talking about laws or practices that were very intentionally designed to create censorship that were later revoked.

Hays code would be a prime example of this. It was intentionally designed as a tool of censorship, later revoked. There are countless other examples.

You also seem to assume that I am somehow ok with censorship laws on the notion that we can repeal them later, again a faulty assumption. I'm all for someone opposing a censorship law before it gets passed, obviously this is more efficient than trying to correct it after the fact. but such absolutist thinking, as you tend to engage in, isnt particularly helpful in a world where we are already battling with censorship in many countries. Having insight into how and why past censorship has been abolished is crucial to fixing things. However if we were to take what you said at face value then it would be hopeless, despite history being against you in that regard (in many ways the USA is less censored today than it was in the past).

I take back anything I’ve ever said about Candace that was anything less than unqualified praise
