Anthere-
But as you perfectly well say, a lot of the argument
was whether they
should be inline OR linked. And it did appear agreeable to a *sizeable*
part of the community that the image should be censored INLINE, but
could appear as external links.
Now... I ask the question. Why would it be shocking to
provide a
"""short""" article on this board issue (the closing of the
board in
China) and invite the reader to have further information by following
external links ?
Especially if these links lead to the english
wikipedia for example ?
There is no difference with a LINKED clitoris, since
people can still
access the information.
You're absolutely correct, there is no difference. That's why I objected
so strongly to the "let's link offensive materials" argument when it came
up. Any such choice we make is inherently POV. Only if we provide image
and text metadata and let the reader decide what they want to see we are
in the realm of NPOV, but only if we view or hide everything by default.
