This implies that the proposed image hiding feature is a less repressive form of censorship. I do not see the proposed feature as censorship - all the images remain on the site. Nothing is removed. Nothing is suppressed. Everything remains.
The image hiding feature itself is not a form of censorship, as far as I'm aware of.
Just as an interesting point I've not seen mentioned yet: ar.wp has an image-hiding feature, implemented using a template (قالب:إخفاء صورة) and which effectively conceals the image until the user clicks to display.
It's manually added to pages, is currently used in ~100 (predominantly medical/sexual?) articles, and has been used for approximately three years. I'm not aware of any other projects currently using a similar one, but it doesn't seem to have caused the end of the world there :-) My Arabic is basically nonexistent, so while I can tell there *are* some past discussions about it, I've no idea what they were saying. Anyone?
