“Ones that cause harm and suffering” is subjective though.

Blocking online content, even ones we don’t like, is a slippery slope

i believe it can be objective. i believe neuroscience has the ability to quantify suffering. i believe if we spent more time studying neuroscience and the health of a society, this could all be feasible.

i agree that censorship of things we 'don't like' is not a society i want to live in. i just think that there are objective answers to what now seems like vague questions.
