my two cents.
people here who say "but some things should be cencored" are WRONG.
"But Atticus, what do you think about incest? Or war? or sexual assault? those should be censored too no?" No. no they shouldnt be. censoring things is a one way street with a 100mph speed limit to making people afraid/unable to talk about it. if you make it so nobodyCAN talk about sexual assault, then nobody WILL.
I personally believe that things should have trigger warnings instead of being downright censored.
look at the uk government right now, their new censorship laws isnt only blocking porn, but also lgbtq resources, and ive heard firsthand accounts about how it's also blocking reaserch into war [specifically gaza and ukraine] and resources for drug addicts, my friend has had entire subreddits blocked from them.
i might even go as far as to say that censorship s how propaganda is spread. if you cant access the reaserch into gaza, then whats stopping them from puttting up things you CAN acess thats just straight up lying and saying things like gaza have obliterated isreal? [not true]
and to go one more step, i'm almost done i swear but this is following on from my last point, thats how they convinced germans to particpate in world war two. its literally propaganda. its how its always worked and they'll keep trying to do it. If theyre sucessfull, they'll do it more with more research/resources/PEOPLES OPINIONS. this is quite literally censorship in its worst form.
so to summatise: censoring one thing that you dont like or agree with is a slippery slope to censoring everything and hiding genuinely true resources that people NEED. you are capable of moving on from things you dont like.people cant find resources if the government iself is hiding them.
