I think this is a point that I was missing about the objections to the filter system. So a big objection is that any "sets" of filters is not so much to the "weak" filtering on wikipedia but that such "sets" would enable other censors to more easily make a form of "strong" censorship of wikipedia where some images were not available (at all) to readers - regardless of whether or not they want to see them? I am not sure I agree with this concern as a practical matter but I can understand it as a theoretical concern. Has the board or WMF talked about / addressed this issue anywhere in regards to "set" based filter systems? -- Alasdair (User:Ajbpearce) _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
