The specific policy is minor, but could be interpreted broadly. What bothers me is that as the internet gets more and more centralized with power in the hands of a few mega-companies, it will become much easier to institute social controls. Look at how China has been able to limit its citizens access. I think that's the pattern a lot of countries would like to follow. Some in our own government would like to ban wrongspeaking, whether it's someone being stupid with a firearm or someone calling for death to Americans. I find that a very dangerous road to go down. The great thing about this massive, sordid world of the internet is its freedom. Take that away and you have yet another a conduit to shove commercial products down the gullet of the masses. Just like FM radio and TV.
