Isn't this how it always goes with any kind of censorship? It doesn't even matter if there were good intentions behind it or not, the result is the same.
Like with criminal justice systems, you either have to be okay with letting 1% of the bad guys go free* to make sure the good guys don't get caught, or you catch 100% of the bad guys but also mistakenly lock up innocent people.
Haven't seen that analogy in a long time. I used to debate this with people out of curiosity and was horrified at some peoples insistence that destroying some innocent lives is perfectly fine so long as we got all the actual criminals.
I always bet they'd change their tune if it was THEIR innocent life.
