Indeed. As a supporter (to some extent) of an image filter; I can entirely
see how it could quite legitimately be seen in the same light by people
opposed to it.

Dismissing that view as "incomparable" is amusingly short sighted.

If anything; such a protest has more legitimacy than this political action -
because it would be a protest against the foundation, hijacking foundation
resources and attempting to inform their readers of the issue they perceive.

I don't approve; but I wish de.wiki good luck if that is the option they
take.
