I like your example because its a specific, physical place. Probably part of a syllabus for your class. And hard to argue that, in this context, a profound and educational experience.
Now contrast that with online 'educational' content. That's way to vague. One could argue that really just about _anything_ is educational. But that same thing in the eyes of another person is pornography, extreme violence, or a hate crime.
Take executions. There's footage of illegal executions in Word War 2, and recently with ISIS. Are both of those educational? Maybe with the right context and in a curriculum, sure. But gosh, sure seems it should at least be age restricted on Youtube.
I think we have two choices to fix this: First, if the regulators want an educational carve out they need to get incredibly clear what is and is not educational.
Or, barring that, then lets create an "educational" platform that can host this sort of content. You know, like OnlyFans, but for "educational" topics.
