Look, don't be ridiculous. It's not the case that we're transitioning
from a state where it would be legal for us to post anything we want
to completely unrestricted, to one where suddenly there are now
restrictions.
Look, don't call me ridiculous and then make a comment that has
nothing to do with the quote you present.
There have always been restrictions. We couldn't
legally post Child
Porn images to illustrate the article on it. We don't let people
publish BLP libel or unfounded statements. We don't publish a
life-size scan of a dollar bill on the Dollar page (it's about 1.5x
"real size", presumably due to the size related restrictions). We
don't have actual detailed nuclear bomb plans up on [[Nuclear weapon
design]] article.
There have been no crusades to overturn those restrictions.
Of course not, and there shouldn't be. You seem to be reading
something into my post that isn't there.
We are an organization that would be in terrible
trouble if sued for
statutory damages for a thousand infractions of DMCA.
Please don't oversimplify this to a white and black case.
Please retract that comment, as I have done no such thing.
