Who is to say that society has a body dysmorphic disorder? Are governments such trusted doctors? Should a government control a society's self-image with an airbrush? If one doesn't believe that individuals are responsible enough to govern their own communications, then perhaps so. But I believe that the best society-doctor is society itself, and given past and current efforts, am skeptical of the sincerity of governments when they do pull our their airbrushes. Mass-murder-selfies are obviously evil, but what about mentioning factory air pollution? I know of one government which will readily airbrush over such online blemishes, and if these two seem ridiculously far apart, remember that wedges start thin. The latter example raises what I believe to be the main point of government airbrushing - to better its own mirror-image, rather than for the health of society.

Speaking of censorship, why has my comment been grayed out?
