Professor Farber
I am reminded of Hans Magnus Enzensberger's Words..

whoever "believes censorship to be an abuse has not understood. Without its
tireless twin, self-censorship, censorship could not work...
"Self-censorship 
outruns in elegance and shrewdness everything that the most vicious (censor)
could imagine... Its target (often met) is the prohibition to think...
"Whoever believes that they are immune, is the first victim."

Ominous words indeed
