    I don’t.

    Neither censorship nor reeducation would be generally voluntary, so somebody would have to be given the authority to mandate them.

    There’s a simple test then for whether or not something is a good idea:

    Think of the person or people or political party you consider to be the greatest threat to others. Then think of what they would do with that power.

    Because it doesn’t matter what the original intent is - if such a power is granted, no matter to whom or for what, those people WILL, sooner or later, get their chance to wield it.
