I recommend this article from NN Taleb: "The Most Intolerant Wins: The Dominance of the Stubborn Minority"

Not all the way through, but just wanted to say thanks for the link. Interesting, and a great summary of how something like the photo in question could get censored. The majority doesn't see it as child pornography, but who's going to fight against the person decrying this as lewd and harmful to children?

Although in this case, the answer might be: Everybody.
