&gt; Then why did you think otherwise in 1985, when Tipper Gore’s Parents Music Resource Center suggested record companies “voluntarily” label as dirty songs<p>Well actually, I was pleased Tipper helped to identify all the dirty music I wanted. It’s not like google existed.<p>Sadly, so did everyone else so those albums were sold out.

They probably either live in reality, where the only people who will help you advance your policy goals are those who regularly agree with you or have been consigned to obscurity by not living in that reality. Do you want to be &quot;true to yourself&quot; or do you want to win?<p>It doesn&#x27;t help that people who have rock solid principles are easy to beat as you can just do what they are unwilling to do to beat them. Like a frog in a niche, they went extinct.

I could be wrong but don&#x27;t these social media orgs have their own policy guidelines and rules for takedown requests.<p>If so, I don&#x27;t see why the government can&#x27;t participate in that process like anyone else.

You mean the people who would believe and say &quot;I disagree with you completely but would fight to the death to protect your right to say it?&quot; Liberals like that have been cancelled or smeared as being &quot;Nazi-adjacent.&quot;
