Yes, the comments are appreciated.
I have no reason for attachment to a piece of media, nor do I shy away from advocating measures that may be called "censorship" - by those who wield a broad rhetorical brush - as if it implied a slippery slope in which we lose the nebulous concept of "freedom" in the end. Personally I'd prefer to see obstructions put in the way of firms that peddle socially deleterious material and even their slow dismantling to being awash in antisocial messages - as we are.
In any event, I do think that having the rubber meet the road in courts of law will do two things: It raises the level of serious discourse regarding the near-inviolate rule of not blaming media for anything and it also raises the risk for purveyors of anti-social material. I have no great affection for companies that peddle material that has quite little redeeming value.
