There have been a lot of red herrings brought up on all sides of that issue. Use of images in a context that is on-topic and educational is clearly one of those, although I would suggest that we can do better at supporting reader choice, because it's really the reader we should be putting in control of their own quest for information.
I am bound to disagree on the last point there. Our mission is not to make choices or to enable choices by any party, in terms of what is available. We make things available, and they should *be* available. If people want to provide subsets of what we provide, that is their affair. It isn't any part of our mission.
