So, what would be an effective way of making censorship impossible?

Tangentially, should it be impossible? We can all imagine scenarios where we might think that actually some information should be withheld or erased.

This is an interesting question; almost everyone agrees that real child pornography should be censored, but there is only varying agreement (among liberals) on the matter of state secrets, intellectual property, assault, calls to violence...
Interesting watching the votes go up and down. There are those who strongly disagree; an axiom upon which to burn the whole world and all the people in it, one might say.
