The nub of the matter is that such an approach should be a two-way
street. There is no evidence that the filter-pushing lobby is making
even the most rudimentary good-faith effort at listening what the
other side is telling them. Just doing a lot of hand-waving and
misdirection. Case in point, ditching the idea of a "category
based filtering scheme" as if that particular bit was what
people were opposing. Not even close. There is still an
echo chamber aspect to the people who are driving filters.
