And this was a defective compromise with pushers of the censored POV
at the time, so using it as a reason for more is the begging the
question fallacy.

Wikimedia's bias is to NPOV and the sum of the world's knowledge.
Deliberately restricting that by default is a violation, on the face
of it. Apart from using past failures as justification for future
failures, do you have a proposal to address the problem of prior
default filtering as a failure of neutrality in a manner that shows
understanding of why this is a problem?
