Summary

Debates about content controls get muddled because four things are conflated: policing content such as hate speech, licensing content, blocking where a show can be listed, and fraud. Dave says each needs its own conversation. For example, a license tag makes sense the way open-source licenses do, while a feed trying to choose its directories is silly.
