Maybe let's regard a picture to grasp it.
Let's look at Nelson Mandela. It's visible.

Point of interest.
10 years ago, we had in Germany 10.000 police actions persecutiong so called
thought crimes, mostly against so called right-wingers. (A mostly false claim
BTW)
Meanwhile, with "child-pornography", we are at 60.000 persecutions per year.
Apropos child-pornography: Living in saxonian
town of Dresden, some times I visited famous picture
gallery after school: All these masters from italic
rennaissance are plain of child-pornography. Or look
Raphael: Madonna and Child. c.1503. Oil on
panel. Norton Simon Museum of Art, Pasadena, USA
Must we close our galleries because of internet-police?

Don't we say licence agreement? Is an agreement not like a treaty?

Einstein shouldn't have backed the bomb. I'm compassionate with him.
