I’m sure many of you are familiar with rule 34 of the Internet. It’s scope creep that can get really sticky. It’s very easy to say “oh this is also objectionable, we should check for this too…” For example I have to wonder if someone draws something sexual featuring a Disney character or something like that (because Disney characters frequently have a young audience) if Disney won’t say “Apple you need to root out these things too.” Then someone makes a sexual parody of some politician, and that could be called abusive, and oh boy, we better root that out too. I am convinced they won’t be able to reject any and all requests for “just one more thing” that needs to be detected and eliminated… because that’s how the thought police work.
Here’s a real example from my youth: In grade 10 I used to hang around with a talented artist. When I first got to know him, he used to draw Garfield strips at least as well as the original author (in my opinion at the time.) One day, we were messing around at a table in the library (when we should have been studying), and he drew something sexual involving Garfield characters. I honestly don’t even remember what it was, I just remember we all had a laugh and then he crumpled it up and threw it away in the garbage. Imagine his surprise when someone hauled that out of the garbage, and reported it to the school management. He got kicked out of school for that (which ended our friendship )
From my above story: I feel like there needs to be room for unpopular though in private, on my own device in my own private space. Depending on what it is, it should be blocked from sharing, but it merely existing on my device doesn’t necessarily mean I won’t eventually reject that line of thinking (i.e. grow up/out of it.) It’s probably no different than the right for a child to have privacy in their personal diary… mom and dad don’t need to be the thought police. Catch bad actors, but be vary wary about trying to police bad thought.
