That's right. But why did the current approaches only had one goal - the
exclusion/hiding of controversial media - in mind?
Partly because it is the low hanging fruit (i.e. the thing that will have
the most impact in forwarding our goals of accessible knowledge).
In other words, it was the first topic that came to mind (Fox+Larry),
followed by the first approach that they could think of. Like a child
that did something bad and tries to hide it in the hope that the parents
would not find out.
Partly because of the old adage that things that people complain about the
most are those that get noticed.
Perfectly right. But this behaviour has nothing to do with tackling the
problem or to grab it at the root.
It is unfortunate that the board chose to cast the initiative in this
light; because I can entirely see why some factions would find it
unpalatable (as presented).
It's not only the presentation. It is the actual way of thought how to
handle problems or to look at things that might be a problem.
