No, it doesn't mean we give any group free reign. But yes, it does mean we let them write anything they want. I can find no example in history where cencorship accomplished any of the stated goals of the censors, but I can find plenty of examples where the cencorship got moving in its own direction, and came back to bite the original proponents. I think the first thing to vanish under cenorship is rationality. I am offended by much of my environment, but I am not rich enough to take the job of Fool Killer (which doesn't pay anything, and you even have to provide your own tools), and am not trusting enough to delegate the job to anyone else (not even my brother). -- hen --
