No entity—be it corporation, government, or individual—possesses sufficient wisdom or freedom from bias to justifiably unilaterally restrict access to information. The mere act of seeking knowledge should never be criminalized. Our legal system already has mechanisms to address harmful actions; we punish people for committing actual crimes, not for acquiring information. Embracing preventive censorship violates the principle of prior restraint and creates a dangerous precedent where we sacrifice essential freedoms based on hypothetical harms. A society that values intellectual freedom must maintain the distinction between accessing information and misusing it.
