We shouldn't be too surprised as censorship is among the usual tools of choice for dictatorial governments. Who expected benevolence?

Any comparison of audio quality between vinyl and CD I ever read suffered from the serious limitation that you can easily recognize the vinyl by listening for scratches, etc. Did anyone ever conduct a blind test where scratches where digitally added to the CD-playback?

I'd love to know whether the self-proclaimed 'true audiophiles' would still recognize the 'better' medium.

A more efficient solution would be to mark only those images actually displaying unmodified people. These days hardly anything is printed without some level of retouching. You'd be surprised about the amount of retouching applied even to images of regular people and politicians before they get printed in newspapers.
