And it’s crossing a track (the Internet), and there’s a train (people) heading towards the level crossing. It’s going to be a mess, the truck will be wrecked. The train will probably be badly damaged, but the track? It will be fixed. It will stay there. It’s not going away and there is too much value to be had from the track, whether another truck comes along and attempts to cross the track while the train is there is anybody’s guess. There will always be trains on the track. But trucks? There’s heaps of them, some of them manage to cross the track without getting in the way of the trains. But the trucks who insist upon right of way when there’s a train bearing down on them have only themselves to blame for the damage, to train, to tracks. They will eventually pay. They may say the level crossing lights didn’t work, but eventually, we realise that the truck that flies in the face of a train deserves no sympathy. We should not make trains stop for trucks.
Censorship is a truck too. It will make a mess, but eventually, the trucks realise that the train is bigger than anything they have encountered. They need to be wary of trains. Trains are the only things that are bigger than trucks.
I think this analogy needs work.
