The saddest thing about it is that they do not even need to explain it anymore. People just assume that it's a thing the government can/will do.

Maybe we need to repeat our errors every 3-4 generations to keep them in our society's consciousness.

I think that history shows that this is probably closer to the truth than you meant it to be.

This has nothing to do with censorship and everything to do with people keeping their clearances. Viewing classified information in any form even after publication is not allowed. The policy may be misguided because duplication of the content occurs regardless on the web, but the original intent of the policy was to prevent further damage.

But wait, if clearances restrict your access to information, then they are not clearances, but restrictors.
