Nobody's touching this huh? I will give it a go. While I don't agree with censorship in any form I think the message about trying to meet someone in real life instead is OK and could have been circulated on it's own without resorting to implementing a block.

bad because its censorship. good because porn is bad for your brain.

If we labeled drug bans as censorship America would quickly end its drug war perhaps.
