"slow-creep censorship"
You mean like the PMRC, fundamentalist religious censorship, and what happened to groups like The Dixie Chicks?
This isn't a new issue.
- mc32 5y agoExactly. Whither Tipper and Al and their PMRC? And it continues today. People want to censor some songs, but not others, because presumably some are offensive in different ways.
- JaimeThompson 5y agoI am curious as to why you didn't mention the other founders in your post. "The women who founded the PMRC are Tipper Gore, wife of Senator and later Vice President Al Gore; Susan Baker, wife of Treasury Secretary James Baker; Pam Howar, wife of Washington realtor Raymond Howar; and Sally Nevius, wife of former Washington City Council Chairman John Nevius. " "The PMRC was founded in 1985, in the shadows of rising political conservatism under president Ronald Reagan, by a group of "Washington Wives" that included Susan Baker (wife of the then Secretary of the Treasury James BakerWikipedia, Peatsy Hollins (wife of Sen. Ernest HollingsWikipedia of South Carolina), and many other Washington socialites (such as Pam Hower and Sally Nevius). Most notably, the group included Tipper Gore, wife of then-Senator, later-Vice President and inventor of the Internet Al Gore, who became the group's most outspoken member."
