- randallsquared 15y agoIn the sense that if each person removes a bit of information from the spot of the internet they're on, they're improving things for themselves and their friends, while if enough people do this, the internet as a whole is reduced in usefulness for everyone. In this analogy, censored information is the resource, but I realize it's not a perfect match with goats and common fields. :)
