These censorship efforts will lead to a return to hard media. DVD’s, Blu-Ray, etc...I have inherited from an uncle who was career military as am I a very large collection of LaserDiscs. When I first inherited them I found them very lacking in picture quality. Then, I bought a new Home Theater receiver from Marantz with excellent upscaling.
Now, I and my wife watch all of those LaserDiscs (many many dozens) of classic movies from the ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s and enjoy them all. Including Home Alone with DJT cameo and Roger Rabbit with the handguns, old Looney toons with all their glorious cartoon violence, etc...

It's getting harder and harder to find the good old comedies or classics on hard media. Which is, I think, exactly what they want to have happen. Can't memory-hole something if someone else has a copy of it. Like all the Trumps stuff everyone want to cut from movies.

How do you upscale from Standard Def (the laserdiscs were) to 4K? Must be blurry and washed out as Shiite.

Same problem with My favorite, Babylon 5. 4:3 standard def. looks terrible on anything higher than HD Ready (720)
