Censorship is fine if it's opt in. I don't use facebook and censor myself from it. I opt in to use a pihole and adblocker. It filters many things I otherwise would see.

You can't often choose your ISP so this makes it extra important for censorship of any kind of to be opt in rather than forced.



My kids will not opt-in to censoring "Thomas the Train" videos when they should be doing their school work.

I think I just got everyone to take a step down the slippery slope.
