Are you telling me that I couldn't set up a P2P network that stored cryptographically hashed content and did routing like freenet, but where the nodes blocked input of non natural-language text files? You might not like it, but I don't think there are any technical reasons why it couldn't be done. And anyway, I'm not suggesting you do it, or even intending to do it myself, I'm still just trying to ask "DOES protecting freedom of speech REQUIRE the ability to _anonymously_ distribute IMAGES and not just natural language TEXT." I'm beginning to think that I'm asking in the wrong place.
