let's not start down the path of discussing politics here, there is a lot that
could be said about the last administration in terms of censorship, and there
are some actions that have happened under this administration that are clearly
malicious compliance (doing something technically within the letter of the

more willing to hold off on passing judgement for every crazy thing that comes
out.
