  That's unfortunate. We study history to avoid repeating old mistakes. Censorship of active conflicts is sometimes understandable in the heat of battle, but history usually provides enough distance for reflection and debate. If contemporary corp/state leaders ever forget expensive lessons learned by humanity, it can be instructive to have living examples of reformed institutions. There is sometimes a risk of category errors with long-lived companies and trademarks, across multiple geographies, decades, leadership regimes and business models. Sometimes it would be helpful to have a more granular reference, e.g. BigCo Version N, or Decade M, or hash (time, geo, leadership, policy). We are on the verge of encoding complex social policy into computer-enforced transactional and payment systems, far beyond the scope of traditional e-commerce. Hopefully we can spare a moment of silence and reflection to ensure "Never Again".
